This is what I see in case it differs from you: http://imgur.com/jhjSV Im on Windows 7 using Chrome. Personally I feel as though the gray box explaining what the page is, is taking up most of the page. Any way to make it smaller? This wa

The one beautiful thing that cardpool can do that cash cant do is get you a discount without having to bargain. All you need is a little bit of foresight. When I was going to buy my Droid X, I knew BestBuy was going to be selling it so I we
