now for something completely different

[artisticforge .]

hello

I am closer to the grave than the cradle and very microsecond counts.
I may sit around all day in a wheelchair but my time is still my time.
If I can do something a little faster, complete a little sooner, so
much the better.

Concerning radio programs on SD cards.
The last time I was in the Hospital my adult children would bring me
the radio dramas that I had been listening to on an
SD card so that I may listen to them at my leisure. The average life
of the PNY 4GB SD card was less than 2 weeks.

Went Read only.

a PNY 8GB USB Drive lasted 6 weeks.
it just went dark. a mini brick.

SD card belong in cameras or cellular telephones.
