For those of you who want to know whether an SD card loaded with images can withstand being dropped into a full cup of coffee, the answer is yes. Here is the 10-step image-recovery process:
1. Place full coffee cup beneath card reader
2. While trying to insert SD card (with 500 images) into the card reader, inadvertently drop it into fresh, near boiling coffee.
3. Plunge fingers into the coffee cup while exclaiming @#!%$!
4. Since coffee is too hot to retrieve the card, dash into adjacent bathroom and dump coffee into the sink - pluck the card before it drops out.
5. Rinse the card in cold water and pat dry with towel.
6. Grab the Electric SD Card dryer (hair dryer) from cabinet and direct the hot air directly on the card for 30 seconds. Hold the card with fingers otherwise it'll blow off the counter into the sink. Try not to burn fingers again.
7. Return to PC and re-insert card into the reader and utter prayer.
8. If images are seen successfully uploading, thank the gods.
9. While images are uploading, return to kitchen to refill coffee cup.
10. Return to office and place coffee cup several feet from card reader.

I always finish the first cup of coffee first, then start doing stuff, I notice that not enough coffee causes problems, I think I'm on #3 or #4 right now.

Third or fourth cup of coffee or step #3 or #4? :-)

You dumped an entire, fresh cup of coffee down the drain!?!? Egad!

I guess we could use some clarification, if it's his first cup it can be excused, brains need starting fluid in the morning, VBG, Bob.

I had already taken half a pot onboard so, unfortunately, I can't use that as an excuse for my ineptitude. But thanks for the life preserver anyway.

It was home-ground Starbucks and I make it so strong that it probably gave me the shakes. :)
