As far as I understand the spores in question are all around us and
part of the air that we breathe. They're as common as dust. So the
idea is to not give these spores any reason to alight on the lens
element and start developing into fungus; hence the usage of a dry
cabinet, etc.

I understand that Apple sells a proprietary connector that allows one
to download images directly from digital cameras to the iPod Photo.
However, the iPod Photo does not display RAW files, and the connector
itself apparantly consumes a lot of battery power.

I hope I haven't misunderstood what you're saying; but I've heard on
