Well the camera made it home but I can't find the darn cable so I can
upload the pics. LOL, it figures. 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.

Isabella


I installed a multi-card reader on my aging P4 to get rid of the need
for a cable.

Unfortunately, it doesn't do tarot.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a P4? Is that a type of camera?

Sorry, that's shorthand for Pentium 4 computer.

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.

Buy another one. Guaranteed to make the other one turn up.

Mushrooms sprouted all over my gardens since the rain 2 days ago. I wish I
knew how to tell the poisonous ones from the ones good to eat.

that's what neighbors are for.

Nope. 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.

I was pretty sure you hadn't posted them, but wanted to check since I dabble
a bit in mushroom identification. 60# of beans, you'll need a little help
eating all them ;-)

We had someone die recently when they picked the wrong kind of mushrooms.

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.
