On January 5, 2001, David Lesher wrote to the DCCP list: "I happen to have a new Giant discount card. While they do give you 3 sets of barcode plastic, it occurs to me that the clerk only sees the backside. A laserprinter could easily make barcode that you just paste onto your card... (But that would be naughty, as it would really screw up Giant's tracking of what a vic^H^Hperson buys and where.)" And with that, a wonderful idea was born. I wrote a page that allows you to swap and re-barcode your Giant BonusCard with someone else's number. I'll have a couple of pictures on how to do a clean cut-and-paste next week and actually go out with someone else's number pasted on my card to make sure the process works. But for now please add your card to the list and fill out the database.
