Sam, Have you ever heard of "Transmeta". There was a spot during the morning technology update called "Future Tense" on NPR today about a new microprocessor being developed by this company. The chip blends upgradeable software embedded within the maze of the processing elements. Technically it would allow one to be able to tailor the processor to work with MAC or Windows or Unix without having to open the box or buy a new computer altogether. Anyway, just another blurring of the boundaries of embedded memory with software presumably residing on a piece of silicon in a totally foreign surrounding. Ausdauer

Sam and Thread, re: Holiday Update Excellent digital camera display at BestBuy in my area. As a matter of fact they even had an Olympus C-2500 in the display and the salesman told me he sold one earlier in the week for $1499.99 plus tax. The removable memory section now has SanDisk, Lexar (a wholly owned subsidiary of SanDisk), and Simple Technology products. Both SanDisk and Lexar have an array of SmartMedia cards as well. SanDisk's SmartMedia offerings are 8MB, 16MB and now 32MB. The SanDisk CompactFlash cards are 8MB, 16MB, 40MB and 80MB. Lexar also has 32MB, 48MB and 64MB cards bundled with "Dump Shot". SanDisk's products are very competitively priced with the 16MB cards selling for $49.99 and the 40MB CompactFlash selling for $119.00 plus tax. There was also a bunch of ImageMates (USB) and PC Card adapters on the shelf. BTW, the PCMCIA adapter for the Sony Memory Stick sells for $79.99 while the CF PCMCIA adapter is only $12.99. At Ritz camera they have so many SanDisk CF cards they were spilling out of the display shelf onto the floor. I also saw ImageMate card readers and SanDisk branded "FlashPath" for SmartMedia. Strangely, Ritz uses Centurian (???) for SmartMedia supplies. Never heard of them before. I bought a Canon A50 (1.3 megapixel) for my sister and brother-in-law as a Christmas gift along with a SanDisk 16MB CF card a SanDisk PCMCIA adapter. Hope everyone has at least one person on the gift list that could use a SanDisk stocking stuffer. Regards to all!!! Ausdauer SanDisk...See the Big Picture
