Well, if his istD does what he needs it to do why should he spend that $820?
My pocket pc, laptop, and camera all take CF. Now the camera also takes XD cards, the laptop also takes pcmcia cards, and the pocket pc also takes SD cards: while the laptop and desktop take usb-flash as well. Which would you standardize on? By the way, I probably have the most expensive card reader on the list. I use the IBM Thinkpad over the wireless network to read CF into the desktop. Think of it a $3000 card reader <grin>. Of course I only paid $300 for the used Thinkpad but that still is a pretty expensive card reader; luckily I have other uses for it as well. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- John Francis wrote: > On Sat, Jun 16, 2007 at 08:59:15AM -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> I opted to stick with my *ist D because I had a few CF cards.
