pretty common

It seems like all flash cards are now much larger in capacity. Anyone know if these cards will work in an older camera?

Thanks, WyoBob

shoot me your addy, I have a 256MB card that I can't use anymore. I'll be happy to send it to you

Ya CF cards can go. I had one go on me after I took a bunch of pictures to find out it was empty. WTF!

Once again, Don Fernando proves that he is THE MAN!

Thanks for the link, Jason.

Don, thanks for the generous offer. While we're at it, you don't have any extra beta tapes lying around? (J.K.) I'm the other guy who bought a Beta machine (and I still have it!)

Don: pm sent.

Thanks, Bob

I still have a box of Beta tapes at my parents, guess I have to take the next time I am there and throw them out as I don't know anybody with a working machine

In a post a few weeks ago, I'd asked about flash card problem I was having with my camera. Ferdinand (Don Fernando) responded:

So, I ask you, does this look like an "a" or "it" to you! ?



Now I see why they call this place the asylum

Thank you very much Ferdinand. Way above and beyond. All of the cards work, btw. I'm very much looking forward to trying the cigars you sent. I've been in a bad cigar rut lately and am looking forward to something new.
