Those rebate companies will try anything to not pay out. I'm sure it will take them much longer than 10 days to mail the check.

Thanks, this looks to be a good deal.

I just bought a digital camera last week and have a question. If the batteries run out while the compact flash card is still in the camera, will I lose all my pictures on the card?

Thanks.

Looks pretty good to me, too. The obvious use for these are cameras but they are very convenient media for transfering data between computers. I have a CF USB reader attached to my desktop at home and also a small PCMIIA adapter for my laptop. Works great and is definitely cheaper and more flexible that the "thumb drives". I will concede that the thumb drive is simpler to use...simply plug it into a USB port but seems rather pricey for the storage.

Also, if you have a CF reader for your PDA, these are great for storing MP3's. CF is really a handy alternative that a lot of people overlook.

anyone heard of the brand SMART Modular Technologies? Buy.com has their 256mb compactflash card for 66.03+ shipping. no rebate to deal with. link How reliable is this brand? Not sure what kind of warranty do they have, as least Simpletech gives you 1 yr warranty.
