Hi all,<br>
<br>
These could be good deals. Thanks for the link. However, when I
taught for a while at Lanier Tech, I would always tell the students not
to trust a memory stick or card with their only copy of something.
They are known to spontaneously fail sometimes and take your data with
them. I've had incidence of that in my own experience. I have a
personal rule never to buy the cheapest of anything, particularly if
it's under stress or if my purpose for it is critical. I sometimes
break the rule, but it usually serves me well. I don't know about this
particular brand of card, but I usually like to look for ones with a 5
year warranty, which can be hard to find. Some of the cheaper memory
cards use a different memory cell technology which has lower
longevity. These could certainly be useful, if you take the risks into
account.<br>
<br>
I had a GPS (with 2 GB memory) once start freaking out and acting
strange after not being used for a few weeks. I had to reflash it 3
times, and, of course, reset all the settings, and now it's working
fine again. Of course, I lost all my waypoints, etc. Has anyone else
had something like that happen with a flash memory device?<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Ron<br>
