Erm, no... :P

Ok, I'll point it out, an IBM Compact Flash card labelled as an SD Card... :eek:

For the amount we pay in fees, you'd think they'd be able to employ people who actually know the difference between the two!!!! :-rofl2
 
Erm, actually, it isn't a compact flash card, it's a Microdrive. :-ohcrap :-lmao

It uses a Compact Flash interface, completely different to an SD card... :P

Yes I know, I have used and lost money on there but please explain how one could ascertain that from the original and subsequent posts??? It is assumed that you being the o/p knew what you were referring to but how was someone else to know??

To others it may or may not....... but to me I just wanted to make sure I was not having a senior moment and something obvious was staring me in the face as if it was I just could not see the wood for the trees. You see as you get older or take regular medication the thought processing capabilities of the brain diminish and it can be extremely disconcerting. It is possible to have a situation or scenario which is blindingly obvious to others but not to yourself. I thought this was one of them U-zzz

The bloke down the road from us had all his teeth pulled out when he was 89, because he couldn't afford dental treatment and a full set of NHS dentures were free. :D

Well, I know this may sound simple, but if you look at the top left corner of the image you can see part of "eBay Motors", which to me makes it obvious that it's a screenshot of eBay's homepage... :)

Yeah, but by the time the NHS got round to making him a set he'd probably have passed away.... :eek:

That collection Klingon symbols on the top left hand corner may actually say that but unless one had visited a page or been told by someone that it said that there is no way anyone would have made that out. I feel much better now knowing that;)
