Like your ego will really let me have the last word.

I'll just point out all of the items that you cowardly dodged, because
you know you're wrong:


..."wear" on card doors... What you'll find is that they
don't wear out - they get broken.

With that digital camera that you've supposedly been using since 2001,
surely if something had worn out on it, you would have already
mentioned this to bolster your arguement. As such, your silence means
that it hasn't broken and your concerns about wearing out doors is an
exaggeration.

And here's another piece of good news for you: even if you don't
screw up and break it, assuming you're a good enough photographer to
use RAW mode on your dSLR and use a 2GB card, staistically your
camera's shutter will fail at less than 400 card cycles. Or 200 card
fills with a 4GB card.

These MTBF values come from *real* photographers who have already put
enough cycles on their shutters to have them fail due to use. And
since a dSLR's shutter is an internal component that the consumer
never touches, this is something that you have utterly no control
over, except to not take any photos.


Bogus hand-waving. Afterall, for how long were 5.25" floppies
around?

Ditto for 3.5" disks, which similarly had over a half dozen format
permutations.


Oh, you *did* know that all SD card manufacturers have to pay
Royalties, don't you?

Apparently not. The situation is less bad today for SD specifically,
which has forced Sony & Olympus to not be so far out of line
pricewise, as it was hindering their sales of their cameras.

Ah, the old "I want a cheap but expandable Mac" arguement is back :-)

And not denied, even though I neglected to include the "mini tower"
clarifier.


The most popular ones are not moving targets nor have they been
so for quite some time.

The most popular one today is SD, and it is currently a moving target
with the fairly recent roll-out of SDHD for 4GB cards, plus it is
pushing into mini-SD and micro-SD for cellphones. More pain-in-the-
ass adaptors to carry around.

I probably shouldn't mention the new UDMA 2 protocol, or that the
latest PIO Mode is now up to revision 6, because then PCturd will get
blindsided by these changes and he will pay for his obstinacy in the
literal sense: through his wallet.

But I'm not a complete ***, so I'll leave this information in, as
a Holiday Gift to all of the arrogant, yet clueless, WinTrolls on CSMA
who aren't mature enough to admit where and when they fucked up :-)


Your attempt to portray them as such is nothing more than a
pathetic attempt to apologize for a feature that most anyone working in
multimedia, you know that group of people Apple caters to, are likely to
want.

Oh, please. I'm a tad frustrated that no one makes a compact P&S
that still uses CF...

And besides, if Apple had included *one* of the many formats, then we
would have heard loud complaints and accusations of a conspiracy of
preferential treatment to a select few digital camera makers instead
of neutrality in supporting equally the whole market. Catch-22
applies.
