Oops, I guess not. Macs don't come with integral
memory
card
slots.
You have to buy an extra piece of Apple gear for
that.
Actually Apple doesn't sell gear for that, you have to
go

a
3rd
party.

Wow, a memory card reader. A backbreaking $6 expense.

If you are somewhere and need to transfers photos then
and
there,
you
won't be able to do it with $6. You won't be able to do
it
at
all
as
there is no media reader.

Then you'd connect your camera to your Mac.

Tell the other person giving you photos to just hand you
their
camera. Alan is sure they won't mind.

Neither one of those cost only $6. The shipping alone is $6!
Both
require an express slot.

I realize that you can only afford to spend $6, but the rest of
us...

Insulting me is supposed to divert attention from the fact you nut
jobs
lied
about the price of the reader.

I didn't lie about anything, Edwin.

You just lied again...

And neither did anyone else:

... and again.

<http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=4024&Descrip

$5.99 + $5.99 three day shipping = $11.98, not $6.

Will you never check your facts before you post?

Shipping costs don't change the fact that the *product* only costs
$5.99.

The product costs whatever the total cost was to obtain it.

Then you must always have included those costs when comparing products...

Insert your references, Edwin!

Learn a new trick, Alan. That one is really old and tired.





"My brand new macbook pro 15"" will wake up from sleep if I

the
card
inside the express slot. Hope to find a fix for that, kind of
annoying
to
cary it around in the case."

"Occasionally, my Macbook Pro will need a reboot before the
reader
will
function again. It also tends to interrupt the computer's sleep
process
(10.5.3). I've not witnessed this behavior on my PC. "

I'm sorry, no references.

You gave the references yourself, Screwy.

Then you should have mentioned that.

Why should I have to mention the information is included in your own
references, Screwy? Because you don't bother to check your facts
before
you post?

How about because no one here is a mind reader?

You didn't have to be a mind reader, Screwy, all you had to do is read
your
own references.

Will you EVER check your facts before you post?

I had no reasonable way of knowing where I needed to check.

It was unreasonable to expect you to read the Web page you referenced
yourself? This from the guy who in his signature belittles me for not
watching the last two seconds of a flash animation on Apple's iPhone site?





Oh YEAH! That's a real fine solution you have there. :-P

I realize that you probably can't afford them, but...

Your ass must be sore from pulling that out of it.

LOL

Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside...

LOL

Poor guy...

LOL

It sucks to be Alan Baker.

LOL
