Hi again Rhonda; I forgot to mention that I just found the cf cards last night. They got lost in the move. I still can not find my sd card used by roger when the transplant was done. This is why I have not done anything about NLS and have been asking about thumb drives, in case my cf cards will not work. Talk to you later. Terry Powers
