I'm not anti-firearms, but I am anti-hand guns (and to a lesser extent semi-automatic rifles/shotguns). They have one purpose, and one purpose only, to kill people. Cheers, Dave On 1/10/07, P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry, I must disagree. An armed victim is more likely to defend

I'd say that if you could get the CF card into the slot backwards, without using a sufficient amount of force to destroy the slot, it was incorrectly designed to begin with. I have a card reader with a type II slot where you could possibly incorrectly insert a type one card, (though it
