Hi Walt and list:
Is it possible you are confusing SD with XD cards? They are similar but not enough to be used interchangibly. SD cards do have little teeth or notches that can be found easily on the back edge. Orient the card so that the end with the notches are pointing into the device. I'll grant the notches are small, so it is possible that if you has reduced sensitivity, it may be harder to recognise. 

Sorry for the off topic response.

Cheers,
Dave

Yes they did, but SD cards are different, don't have a clipped corner (or,
at least, it's not nearly as clearly defined), and they're  _much_ smaller
than those cards. SD cards are barely the size of a postage stamp. I'm both 
experienced at and handy with installing cards, but every time we have to
remove the SD card from our digital camera, I let my wife, who's sighted, do 
it.

I'm not trying to start an argument here, I honestly don't know, having
never seen an SD card. But the old MMC cards, which were also very
small, had one clipped corner, making orientation a breeze. Do SD cards
have the same feature?
