    "Indestructible CF Card"

    I have often heard that CF Cards are pretty indestructible. Well, here's a new story to add to that. I was at my computer this morning and heard a chewing noise. Somehow a year old rescue Maltese-Poodle had found an old (really old - I have no idea where he found it) 256 KB CF card and was chewing on it. I rescued the card and it still works...

    I don't know if the same would be true of one of my two big goldendoodles (one mine and one foster) had been doing the chewing. Their jaws are a lot stronger. However, I am not going to test the card in their jaws.

    Does that get them "cleaner" than formatting?

    No, but it may be the reason some images are "washed out"

    You mean the pun police is up and about here nowadays waiting to slap your wrist for making fun with puns? (Hey that rhymes!!!) In The Photo Forum, it was fun place to be--you think a post will go down the drain at some stage but someone will always bring it back to normal.

    What about the SD cards, Richard -- luck testing them on those sharp baby teeth?
