: Ah, thank you Mr. Garber. I just did the same with
: *.po of my CF image - yahoo! (I was trying the

Sure thing. You had me concerned since the last version
was just released, but I knew I had done this many times
with earlier versions. Thank God it's still working.

: Now I need an external CF drive with quick release :-)

I just got one from the home office and haven't tried
it as yet, but I know swapping CF cards outside of the
computer will be a blessing.
