If the card reformatted it is probably okay. It is good practice to reformat the card frequently, not to just delete pictures and keep going. The reformat tests the card. These days cards are quite durable. But static can damage them. Don't touch the metal parts. I worry about cheap USB readers too, but I have no proof. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
