I couldn't agree with you more. The only cards I have had die on me were *not*
Sandisk. The extra few dollars per card is way more than worth it. I won't
buy anything but Sandisk, either.

Agreed.
I'm not too worried about the brand of underwear I use, but I won't have
a card if it ain't Sandisk.
I have had nothing but good luck with them, and if it ain't broke, well
you get the picture.

This is exactly my point about purchasing any type of memory
manufactured by
well known established companies. If your card had been a no-name
brand,
you would have been out of luck or patience in trying to get it
replaced.
I'm glad your card was a Sandisk.

Hello. Well, it looks like it was a card problem. Thankfully it is a
sandisk
card though so they are going to tell me how to return it. I hope it
doesn't
take long. I wanted to have it to take on my road trip.
I put my 1 gig card in and everything works okay with it.
Thanks to all for your help.
Sharon
