>>I didn't even see a 48MB Sandisk CompactFlash offered on the site. Tell me how much you paid. It has to be at least $200<<

Wrong. I paid $109 for the Sandisk 48MB CF Card. (which is more than a few weeks ago when it was about $90) My Epson PhotoPC 850Z was $676.

ic-direct.com

>>40 MB of Clik! would have cost $10. <<

LOL! I think you forgot a little something... the $249 Bomb! Drive!!! I doubt a Bomb! disk would work without one.

>>Just how do you plan on downloading your 48MB card while on the road ? <<

If I run into that problem, I'll get an iBook (I really need one anyway for various things). But I will be able to store lots of pictures on the 48MB CF card plus the 8MB card the Epson ships with- and never have to really worry about getting the cards wet or cold, dusty, or anything. If I did what IOmega wanted me to, I would always have the thought in the back of my mind that 40MB Bomb is a dust and dirt contamination disaster waiting to happen. ( I live in NYC- very dusty. You should see the insides of some office computers around here--YEEAACCHHH!)

If I really get the shutterbug in me, I might pick up the 340MB IBM Microdrive. But never Iomega Bomb!- besides, Bomb! for digital cameras isn't even compatible with Macs!
