I wasted a good part of Friday morning. I put my camera’s memory card in my computer to copy the files and clear the card. Forgot to put it back in the camera. The EAA shops only had XD cards, and I needed SD. Tried the two battery vendors in the display buildings. One didn’t carry them, and the others were out at all 3 of their locations. Next try was the media building to see if they knew where to get one, but Canon was right next door so I tried there first. They must have dealt with people like me before since they had a sign out on their counter saying that they were available at a vendor called Camera Casino in building C. I had walked by there twice already without knowing they were in there. They weren’t listed in the exhibitor guide either.
Oh well, got the card. Oh joy! As I’m typing this I see that this high speed (SDHC) card can’t be read with either of my computers. One major lesson I learned working with computers is that there’s usually another way to get things done. I’ll have to transfer the photos and movie clips over through the camera. We’ve got lots of photos and video to post. It will take a few days to sort through them though.
