Hi Joleen, O. K. My lack of knowing what all these adachronisms stand for is the problem why I can't find the slider. I thought that SAID stood for "storage" something or other. I think I don't own an SD card and exactly what does it stand for. I've created a list of abbreviations so eventually I won't have this trouble. I firmly believe that the English language, and every other, will cease to exist with anachronisms and sign language to replace it. Already I cannot understand this generation because of talking so rapidly, with abbreviations and piercings on there tongues. Is there a way to protect and unprotect a CompactFlash card? I'll investigate the SD card and hopefully I'll increase my education somewhat. I really appreciate your efforts and I know we'll succeed eventually. Hang in there! Eugene
