It would be interesting to know how many people , in the olden days, left their keys in the ignition for fear of wearing out the the ignition switch?

In spite of what Chicken Little believed, the sky isn't falling. And, correct me if I'm wrong, no modern camera manufacturer recommends not removing cards from a camera. The reason for having cards is so we can remove/swap them.

Well said Bill.

To each their own, (my opinion and my process, serves me well, others are free to use, or not) - no harm no foul - the trouble with "Chicken Little" was a lack of deductive reasoning, failure to recognize predictive failure paths, and no way to act on the issue - and unfortunately, stuff falls out of the sky everyday...... No the Mfg's don't recommend "not removing", they are also hopeful that items will break down and fail over time, it helps to insure future purchases, and the repair window for electronics continues to shorten - it is a global/industry wide planned obsolescence/replacement cycle, they don't want us to repair anything, just keep buying new ones!

I just recognize the path to failures based on industrial experience, and predictive maintenance/failure routes, and the card mechanism - card pins/contacts and lock/eject mechanism is one weak link.... not the only one, unfortunately.

Predictive maintenance = It is how we keep fleets of planes (think for instance of the B-52) flying, ships, trucks and trains, etc. operational, it was a prime function for me during my days with Space Shuttle....we were working toward the same predictive maintenance path that worked so well for B-52. They (NASA) did actually intend to keep the Shuttle as a viable spacecraft well into the 2030's-2050's....reality was that the budget (and the way the program was structured and contracted - basically turned it into a WPA program like the one's during the 1930's) and wasn't sustainable, would not support it, too fat with people, and not fat enough with upgrade engineering, and the Space Shuttle budget was not very large, on a year to year basis, as those things go.

Give my regards to Chicken Little, he needs all the help he can get!!!

Mr. Little sends his best wishes.

I don't go to the casino anymore, but I still enjoy playing the odds.

Be well!
