Yes. In fact, I had one SD card where the sliding switch fell out-- and I subsequently lost it, making the card `permanently write-protected'. But I replaced the missing slider with a bit of tape, just like we used to do with VHS cassettes..., and guess what? It was writable again (though, mind you: it was somewhat harder to layer the tape into that space on the SD card that it ever was to tape over the write-protect hole on VHS cassettes...). -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
