hello I am closer to the grave than the cradle and very microsecond counts. I may sit around all day in a wheelchair but my time is still my time. If I can do something a little faster, complete a little sooner, so much the better.
Concerning radio programs on SD cards. The last time I was in the Hospital my adult children would bring me the radio dramas that I had been listening to on an SD card so that I may listen to them at my leisure. The average life of the PNY 4GB SD card was less than 2 weeks. Went Read only. a PNY 8GB USB Drive lasted 6 weeks. it just went dark. a mini brick. SD card belong in cameras or cellular telephones.
