Furthermore, they had many reasons not to give me credit, e.g. my visa status. You ask "how did he get it"? One day I was walking through the Student Union (in U. of Wisconsin, Milwaukee) when some guy sitting at at a table stopped me and offered to give me an application for a Sears credit card. At first I was reluctant, not knowing what exactly the credit was goning to get me and why was this guy so interested in helping me. To make a long story short, he was with some kind of a student organization and they had some kind of an understanding with Sears. I applied for the card and received my card in two weeks. So, for those of you who are still in college, check what your student government might have. Be careful out there. H. Reza Taheri ...!(most major machines on the net)!ihnp4!ihuxb!reza (312)-979-1040
