    1st POST AGAIN!!! YeaH!

    You'd think that we could have one standard solid state storage format by now. Next to useless anyway, you van just use USB or Firewire to transfer info directly from your digital device.

    Not useless ...

    For old cameras, that don't have USB or firewire, this is the way to go. Anyone have experience with it? My dad uses a PCMCIA flash media reader right now that's fast. And I wanted to know how the speed of this USB drive compares.

    USB from cameras is dog slow.

    Way overpriced

    I just bought a reader that reads five of those formats (all except Memory Stick) for $30. Works great with Mac OS X, reads multiple formats at once—though I just tested CompactFlash and SmartMedia because that's all I have. There's also a 6-in-1 reader (same as above) for $43.

    See them all here:

    (no, I'm not affiliated, just a happy customer.)

    Another possibility is a FireWire reader, as USB readers are pretty slow.

    anyone have this problem

    I had a CF card reader (forget the brand) which works fine under OS9, but under OSX, the dates/times of the files are all off by like 12 hours or so. Makes no sense...
