Chuckle....

Not a big deal David I was being sarcastic as well as pointing out It 
was my fault for not paying attention.

I changed the subject in hopes others see that the link isn't what a 
person needs fot the BBB or RPi2.

Can return the memory cards but do have a couple places I could utilize 
them.
If nothing else I can stick them in a USB adapter and use them for storage.
Little spendy but returning them costs $8 + so rather than waste the money
I'll probably just print myself a sign = "D---A--AGAIN" and wear it 
around for a few days.

It'll stop the wife from calling me that when she sees I had to buy 
different ones.

Thanks for the recommendations, reply and concern.
