It's official. Technology and I will never be friends. My computer has eaten my camera's flash card. Transfering pics from camera to computer on my old Sony Vaio (may it rest in peace) was a piece of cake. When I bought my camera last summer, I discovered that the weird little door on the side of the computer labeled "MagicGate" was for camera flash cards! (I'd always wondered why in the world my computer had a "Magic Gate.") So I was disappointed when I got a new laptop that wasn't a Sony (to match my camera) because I figured that meant I'd have to find the usb cord that came with it. But a friend said her computer could read several different types of flash cards so I decided to take a closer look at mine and low and behold, there was a little slot with three logos under it, one of which matched the one on mine. So I lined it up slid it in and went "Wait, that doesn't seem right." I tried to take it out but it was too late, it was too far in. Now it's at the back of the slot and nothing I've tried works to get it out. Which means I get to make a trip to Best Buy tomorrow. Yippee. The funny thing? Even though I've obviously put it in the wrong way, I wasn't completely off-base because the computer did read the card and import the pictures, but I'd like to have it back in my camera again. What's the point of a card reader that doesn't give you the card back? Stupid bloody electronics. Seriously, it all fucking hates me.
Ack! I hope that gets fixed for you soon!
