Here is the only Christmas photo I have of Christmas morning. We were with relatives for Christmas – so I pull out my camera only to discover that I had forgotten the compact flash card. I have done this before – each time vowing I will buy a back-up compact flash to leave in the camera bag. It is amazing how easy it is to forget it. When we got home, sure enough the card was right where I left it – in the computer’s media reader.

Well this time I mean it and will be buying a second compact flash card. So if you received a digital camera for Christmas, make sure to have an extra media card.
