    Let's say if I have a $500 balance on one credit card, and another credit card of mine is offering 0% APR on balance transfer thru let's say July 2006. Does this mean that if I transfer the $500 to the 0% APR credit card then I don't have to pay interest whatsoever on that $500 until July 2006...

    Brahm's 2nd piano concerto

    To be honest, I don't like this concerto. The first 3 movements aboslutely rock! but the last movement just seems so out of place. We have 3 very dark and powerful movements and then all of a sudden we switch to a happy ending in the last movement? I don't get it at all.
