Compact Flash Mystery

As are the pictures and narratives you posted and I have to ask:
That "ship" looked like a floating barge, please tell me that the amenities were on the inside. Of course the other side of the coin is a certain Royal Carribean ship that was very pretty on the outside and trashed on the inside.
It's all relative I suppose but your pictures are fantastic.

This is not a tantrum but sadness over loss of life for what amounts to nothing for the next generation.
Tell me, How many welcomed you back from Vietnam? Was it fair to you? Do you really think that folks today care over what should have been learned?
How about Korea? WWII? WWI? Did we learned a damned thing? The answer is: "No."
If your friends or my family members that were killed in various wars were able to come back? Would not they be crying? They died for us. What are we doing with their gift?
Read my fist answer carefully before getting into a tantrum yourself. Understand what is under the words. Did I question anyone's feeling or did I question our collective memory and capacity to learn?

Just when you thought you've encountered every possible problem, a new one walks in! I was going out to shoot today and realized the compact flash card I've been using was still in my computer's reader, so I'd have to use another.
Great picture. I think you got your money's worth out of that card.

I'm NOT going to get into all the bashing and slashing of "Old Soldiers" or Vet's, I''m one myself..... Now back to the topic...! I'm a Canon user, my EOS 30D had a 2GB CF card in it when I bought it, enough to get started or get by with for then/now. However, I ran out 1 day and wanted larger CF card. going to Walmart was a trip, they wanted $40.00 for an 8GB CF card. Back home I got on the Internet and Googled CF cards, yeah tons of results, but one caught my eye: "Pixelflash".... I went to the site and live chatted with a sale rep. To make a long story short, I bought 2- 4GB 300X(speed) for $14.98 each plus shipping. They both Formatted in seconds, and give great results. I kept the 2GB card as a spare/backup, always carry your CF Cards in holders/cases....not loose where they'll collect dust/dirt/etc. in the PIN holes......

In my opinion, you got your money's worth from that card. Time to buy several new ones and discard that one.

Thanks "Ralphc4176" I'm on Disability, its why I only bought 2 of the 4GB CF cards, I'll get more later as the $ allows.....

I would say Yes it is time to go spend some cash and get a new Card.

I just purchased a couple of CF to SD card adapters from Amazon for my wife's camera. Works like a mini sd card holder.
Around $20. each. She has used them for about 4 months, no problems.
She keeps a 16 gb sd in it.

Put it in the pile with all your other old cards. That's what I do.

You sure it's not the other way around?

I have a not small but not large box full of CF cards, because the have not fit or be compatible with any of my most recent cameras: 1st or 2nd generation Canon Rebel and Nikon D5100 and coupla point-shoots. So what kinds of cameras can take CF cards these days. I also have a bunch of Smart Media cards in the same box. My camera stuff drawer seems to be a history of me, sigh.
