Professionals like news photographers who use digital cameras probably have more activity on a CF card in a month than anyone on this list will have in a year. The simple fact is that there is absolutely no predictability factor where CF cards are concerned and unless you have mean-time-to-failure (mtf) data from card manufacturers, this is all merely episodic information or outright gossip. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hill" <hillco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 6:34 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: life of a cf card Not really. People who use bookports move a lot of stuff on and off their cf cards, unlike people with things like digital cameras where if they get it out and use it once a month it is a big month.
