FWIW, I can easily see the difference in speed between typical Class 2 MicroSD and SanDisk Extreme III SD cards in my Panasonic DMC-FZ28, not to mention the card reader in my ThinkPad T61p, where the difference is huge. -- John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups."

That may sound good in theory, but in practice there's much more downside than upside, especially in terms of potential legal costs as well as support costs. For example, you can't claim trade secret protection if it can be shown that you didn't protect them as secrets. And trade secret issues aside, I know of a real example where released internal documentation resulted in a very big legal problem.

Amazing that someone would consider "cursory" to be a word special enough for someone to use only after seeing it in a newsgroup post. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

LOL, it's not amazing considering who it was that thought that it's a special word! Our favorite trolls never fail to amuse! |
