I've been a user of 3 x 5 cards for decades. There's always a stack of them in my shirt pocket, though I do admit to not using them consistently. Right now, I'm working on a project that requires me to catalog dozens of snippets from various sources and then integrate them into my writing. Typical outlining programs won't handle this well, so it's back to the index cards. Fortunately, one of my outlining programs handles output to the Avery cards. You can also use them with Microsoft Word, FileMaker, Access and any other program that lets you format your print output. These things tear neatly and accept laser or inkjet output. Brutally expensive when compared to ordinary index cards, but incomparably handy. Worth the price when you need a foolproof method of printing index cards. The regular ones often don't get along with some - actually many - printers. Jerry

These are great if you want to make flash cards, but you are like me and don't care to hand write them all. I use images from my online textbooks and sometimes the definitions from those textbooks as well. Using the envelopes and labels option in word, I am able to easily format these, and print them out. For double sided use, I just flip over the stack and get answer and question on the same card. This is cheaper for me than purchasing pre-made flash cards, and they are durable enough for me to pass on when I am finished with them. As a current medical student, flash cards save me a great deal of time when I am reviewing. This product, especially at this price is one with which I am greatly pleased.

I'm using these index cards with a program for learning a foreign language and they are GREAT! Much faster than writing everything out, and I can print more in a flash if my old ones are lost or damaged. Also, Ritz-Camera gives FAST service (delivered within 4 days of ordering) and a discount on delivery for bulk purchases. Finally, the most inexpensive price I could find anywhere!
