Congratulations. Have fun with it.

It sounds like it would match my netbook and mouse

Well done SRS!

Ok. Well I don't format new cards in camera, only when I put an old one back in.

Oggy, as a computer operator from the days when 128K filled a room the size of a school gym, I can't say I remember any of the disks being so temperamental between different drives.

I really can't see why formatting in camera would cause a problem with a card reader. I read my cards on my home computer, on my netbook, on my image tank and via a stick cards reader on my husbands laptop, never had a problem.

He in turn has used an SD card from his old Canon P&S in my old Ds and his new K-m without ever formatting it and has been able to download all the photos from all three camera successfully.
He has since formatted it without problems, and continues to use it.

If you had to format them every time you put them in a camera, then you would have to when you put them in a card reader, which would somewhat defeat the object of the exercise.
I'm not sure I understand your point.

I always format my cards when I put them in the camera.
The card reader reads them just fine.


TT Not moving on from BBA to CBA are you?

When I'm away I download to an image tank and from now to my netbook. I don't delete the photos but put the write protect on the card once it is nearly full. Only if I run out of card space do I clear one.

At home a download everything after a shoot and format the card.

I own 3 4Gb cards, and reluctantly had to buy an 8Gb last year in the US since they didn't have any 4Gb cards in that particular Walmart..

We were lucky - everything we have was seen and compatible with Windows 7. We checked everything on the Windows site before buying W7.
I really like it, even the stripped down version on my netbook.
My only regret is letting our so have the third licence in the family pack we bought - otherwise I would have put it on the netbook. They don't do the family pack any more sadly. We still have a couple of computers that would benefit from W7 and the family pack was a bargain. Obviously it was too popular so they dropped it .

OK I admit it, I do have a copy of Fantasia. Downhill all the way after that though.

I'll even admit to a visit to Disneyland, the original one, back when they still had E-rides. It was their 25th anniversary and we had free tickets, including for all E-rides. I think that really did it for me though.

Luckily the Grandsons don't care for Disney either.
