[ale] Buying Compact Flash

[James P. Kinney III]

That sucks. I haven't stuck a cf card in any thing but my new Kodak
camera and my sandisk reader and my Zaurus. My cf's are a kodak and a
memorex. I had to tell the camera to "format" the memorex before it
could use it. It just made a directory to dump the photos into. 

I would be more suspicious of the problem being the PNY brand :) I have
had many of their CDRW disks be unuseable out of the box. Yet my sd
memory card is a PNY and it is quite happy in my Zaurus.

I'm rarely happy with prints from these machines (the Fuji's give much nicer prints), but it sucks that the Kodak print machine doesn't recognize my CF card.
