I have an external SD port for loading pics into my Mac … there is no way to eject the cards … just pull the out .. always get the "you berkeleyed up and ejected the device incorrectly" notice … so far nothing bad has happened

Not sure whether you're riffing on the usage of "eject" for humor, but the upshot is that you want to "eject" to tell the computer to "unmount" the filesystem on the SD card, even if it doesn't physically eject the media. The state of the card's filesystem could be messed up if you don't give the computer a chance to "clean up" before you physically extract the card.

is that pretty much the same thing as my telling the computer to erase all pix as/after it downloads the info ?

No, not really.

Watt?

In reply to Brett_Murphy:

Watt is that? I mean, I know the animated part's a Watts link, but what's that funky axle? Is it a De Dion setup?

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to hotlink!

Looks like the rear of an Electric Ranger

Alfadriver nailed it.

I briefly considered adding this to the box flairs thread

I just won two free movie tickets from the local hard rock station because I could identify what the rock song he was playing on his acoustic guitar.

I would never had been able to guess it, except he has used the same clip for the third time now and I remembered it. The song? Epic by Faith No More. I know the song, but on acoustic, he just can't make me hear it.
