Ron, Thanks for the post. Where do you guys find these things? It is nice to have a couple dozen pairs of eyes out there scouring the net. Ausdauer

Ron and Thread, I bought a 48 MB SanDisk CF card for $126.00 and it came by UPS yesterday. They are shipped without a PCMCIA adapter. I have another card that I bought for the same price a year ago which is only 15 MB and came with the adapter, so I am set. Transferred a large archive of .jpg images in a folder to my wife's laptop just by dragging and dropping to ImageMate. It is nice to have a large capacity interface common to the PC and laptop. The only other option for me was buying an external Zip drive and using sneaker net to carry them from the PC internal Zip to the laptop. I am planning to buy a nicer digital camera this year and perhaps a PDA, so I suspect I will use the 48 MB card quite a bit. The entry cost currently is about $2.50/MB. It seems to be a reasonable value if you figure that the memory can cross over to several platforms. The price per MB should be closer to $1.00 to $1.25 if the trend continues. Ausdauer (27 7/8)
