The beans are still growing well despite those gigantic fungi so I'm not going to sweat it at this busy time. In fact, I put up another 7# of beans this morning. I sure do appreciate all the ideas, links and suggestions, though. I had no idea there were so many kinds of fungi. Good grief it's really amazing. Thanks again. I installed a multi-card reader on my aging P4 to get rid of the need for a cable. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a P4?

A card reader or memory card reader is a piece of hardware that plugs into the computer. You take the memory card out of the camera, plug it into the reader and can then treat the card like another drive. I bought a multi-card reader to mount in a drive bay in my computer because I didn't want to find or fiddle with cables, expend battery power on long data transfers or worry about wear and tear on the camera's USB port. The reader I have looks like this http://megacomputer.ca/product_info....oducts_id=2250 The external ones that connect to USB are quite variable in shape... Small ones can fit in a pocket. I have seen external readers for as little as $5.00 Canadian though the usual, "You get what you pay for." caveat applies. Thanks ever-so-much for the information. I do have a little card reader for our little Olympus camera but it's just so much easier to plug the camera, via USB mini cable, into my Mac where the photos are auto-uploaded. I generally just leave the cable plugged into one of the USB ports on my monitor but I think someone yanked it out and ran off with it. I'm tracking the culprit.

It wouldn't be attached to another computer, would it? :-) Darn good thought! Thanks :) I immediately jumped up and went looking but did not find it on the other computers. I also looked at the back of mine as well thinking maybe I had used one of the rear USB ports and forgot about it. Not in the USB hub either. It'll turn up. -- "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" -T.S. Eliot |

I tore my office apart and cannot find it. The fungi got pretty beat up in the Ike aftermath when a couple of our bean poles fell on them. But they're still there, apparently not hurting anything since I'm still getting lots of beans. I've frozen about 60# and do not want to look at another bean... but I will of course. Looks like I'll have to buy another mini USB cord. Isabella -- "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" -T.S. Eliot |

Or access to a liver transplant. :-( Massive doses of milk thistle are supposed to help somewhat, or so I've read on the 'net when I was researching that supplement. I know alcoholics that use it to keep their liver in shape. I use it as an immune system booster (and it works better than vitamin C for cold alleviation). There is a reason it's a popular supplement. -- Peace! Om "If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed." --Mark Twain |
