terrible night last night trying to find working Kate. Went to 3 WMs as far as an hour away. Finally, I found one that appeared to be up but the when I swiped, it did not read the card. after many tries i bought some plastic bags to put the card in while swiping (thought i read here that that sometimes works) but that didn't work either. Any ideas on how to deal with a swiping mechanism that wound read a card?
