This is a kinda Warped Geek Rant, so I didn't really know where to post it.
My complaint is this: Too many memory card formats.
I have a Sony Clie' PDA that uses, of course, the Sony Memory Stick. So I've got a couple of those.
I have a Canon Digital Rebel which uses the Compact Flash card, and I've got a whole bunch of those.
I have a smaller digital camera that uses the microscopic XD memory card. Sarah's Fuji camera uses those, too. (That's about as close to universality as we get here.) There's several of those around here, though you need a magnifier to see them.
Now I have an RCA Lyra MP3 player that uses . . . (Let's see; What's the one kind of memory card I don't already own?) . . . Oh, yeah, the SD card. So I have five of those.
I think it would be swell if all our digital gadgets could agree on a single memory card format. Anybody think there's a snowball's chance in **** of that ever happening?
