...that being said perhaps Sonnet will one day return to creating processor upgrades and other hardware enhancements and help us get more mileage out of our aging Macs. They seem to have totally dropped the ball on that one.
Earth to Sonnet...

Who is still using CF cards? Ok, high-end cameras but most pro-sumer cameras and even video cameras are moving toward the SD cards. But please do comment to educate the rest of us... I am not in know about all of the CF advantages.

You answered your own question. They call it "Pro" yet many/most pro cameras still use CF cards. Really ticks me off how much I miss my PCMCIA adapters. :/
