I finally got home to Philadelphia..."There's no place like home, (
click my heels) there's no place like home (
click my heels) there's no....." ahhh forget it....you get the picture... 8-)
Anyhoo, I have one of these Kingston 512MB cards and I think I may never go back to Sandisk again. And here's my main reason.. I own/have owned a bunch of Sandisk cards (I'm looking at a dead 128mb card right now) and every time that I have used my Sandisk card reader the card would just go "dead"... I mean unformattable (is that a word?) and my PPC would pop up an error 31 disk not recognizable. Remember this happens only when I used my Sandisk Card reader SecureMate SDDR-33 (
this is foreshadowing.... :P ).
So on Tuesday (shhhh, I'm whispering) I used
DVD to Pocket PC to rip "Pirates of the Carribean", "Seabiscuit" and "Office Space". When I was finally done the total size of the three movies was 400+ mb.... So I started to use ActiveSync to copy the movies to my PPC....(Did I mention I was in uhhhh...ummmm...
Indonesia when I used DVD to Pocket PC
)...Well, using activesync was looking to take about 20 hours to copy the three movies....so I'm looking at the SecureMate and then back at Activesync...thinking....
(
on my left shoulder) "
Broil, you're not thinking of using that thing, it will kill your 512MB card and then where will you be?"
(
on my right shoulder) "Come on
BK, this is taking way too long...go ahead use the SecureMate and you'll be done in minutes. WIMP."
--WIMP --
Ohhhhh that's it! Noone, and I MEAN NO-ONE calls me WIMP, not even me! :P So...I used the card reader with the movies and "Voila" it took a couple of minutes to copy everything over to my PPC.
(Oh, did I mention I was in
Canada .....I mean....
Indonesia when I did all this..
)
No problems with the Kingston card! That's my 4 cents on the subject. You got an extra 2 cents because I like ya! :P
