>YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY MORE THAN ONE FLASH CARD!!!!! The point is transportation, not storage You take the pictures. You remove the flash card. You pop the PCMCIA flash card into almost any notebook computer sold in the last 2 years, or any other PCMCIA compatible device. You download the photos.< So BO, you couldn't keep from making a stink here. Wrong again! So, I by your wonderful flash card and I just need a $3000 laptop tp process the picture. Last I looked there is NO PCMCIA ON A DESKTOP MACHINE. Also, why should I have to quit taking pictures just because I didn't take my laptop with me???? Besides I thought all you needed was a floppy. Gads your arguements are childish. With my apologies to Edward, I think you're a 13 year old posing as someone with a beard. Again, I apologize to the 13 year olds because they no much more about technology than you do. Why don't you see HP announcing a flash card enabled printer?? Clik is a big development in portable storage. Your weak arguements don't cut it. BO

What happens when you're on vacation and your non-laptop PCMCIA slotted computer is 3 states away. The convenience deal is what makes the clik! drive and disks shine, especially when you comp the second flash card to the cost of the drive and a few $10 - 40 meg disks. You could buy a whole box of 'em for the price of a 16 meg flash card. Take pics to your hearts content. Plus they're soon gonna be useable in all kinds of electronic devices, so compatibility will be a plus there too. This is going to be nice when you can drop your disk into a printer and spit out a photo. I wonder if the communication between a computer and a printer would permit the drive in the printer to upload onto the hard drive or Zip drive? PCMCIA interface to clik! drive= no flash card needed= more money to buy other toys

Bearded One: "YOU DON"T NEED TO BUY MORE THAN ONE FLASH CARD" then later you write: "For convenience, you can buy two flash cards" Last time I looked, 2>1. It's a cool feature of flash card cameras that you have to have a computer with you to take more pictures once the f.c. is full. I guess you're right, people will never want to carry around a pocketfull of cool disks instead of a notebook computer--like when they're hiking or running around a construction site taking 3 minute videos with their Hitachi digi-camera... In your favor: mentioning the no moving parts (you got something right!) -Spank
