Rollei told me that the d41 would work flawlessly
with Windows XP, as XP had the internal drivers,
but I found no joy there. Many of you had
suggested that I just pick up a card reader. So,
this morning, I traipse five or six miles to the
nearest Circuit City, where I doofussed around
the computer section, trying to find someone to
ask but there were some married couples ahead of
me who had both done a LOT of comparison shopping
and who were arguing every price quoted to
them. So, I waited for twenty minutes or so when
I had a sudden inspiration -- it was sort of a
comic-book experience, with the light bulb
appearing in the conversation
balloon. Bam! Doh! The card readers were NOT
in the computer section but in the digital camera
section. Five minutes later, I exited the store with a $17 GE CF/MD reader.
It worked absolutely flawlessly, once I had
switched it from a dud USB port (the next time
the case is open, I'll try to figure THAT one
out) to a good one. I was able to download all
of an accumulation of 16 months of photos onto my
computer. I then scrubbed the CF card using the camera for that.
Thank you, helpful people. I didn't even know
these device existed. And $17 saves me the $250
or so a new camera would run me.
Best,
Marc
