Yikes! The only thing I can think of is my CopyPaste and Textpander don't seem to play well together. I was looking on eBay to see whether Clamshell (Clam*) iBooks were airport ready. Seems they are. Must've pasted that in. It's probably supposed to be "Card". It's hard to be careful enough. Keeps me humble.
