Michael: so you do use the serial transfer cord to download? How much time does that take to clear the 48 mb CF card? (hours?). Last but not least...I'll BUY one of those archival CDs!!! <g> Gary >I am a gadget junkie, but now that I have a 48mb CF in my Coolpix, I have yet to takeit out. I shoot my pics, then hook the camera up for a download and clear the card - ready for another shoot. Now this will all change since I just got my SanDisk Imagemate USB reader - but here I will just be taking the card out to download it and clear it. Then it goes back in. From there I would archive those naked pictures of my girlfriend onto a CD-ROM - CF is still way to expensive to justify using it as a backup. CD's cost less than $0.50. So why do I need another CF card? Sure if I have another device, i.e. cellphone, Palm Pilot, I would most likely have dedicated CF for each, but would I need more than one per? The question I'm leading up to is this: How strong will the demand be for CF beyond the initial purchase? And how important is removability?
