I speak from experience if the tab is gone the card is locked. If you;d
like I have a two Gig SanDisk Extreme card I'll let you have for half
the cost of a new one, only missing the write enable/protect tab.

I think the opposite is true. If the locking tab is gone, you cannot lock the
card. Anybody?

Sure you don't have to worry about it, the camera thinks the card is locked and
won't write to it, nor will any properly designed card reader. I wish I could
get large capacity MMC cards which are just SD cards without a lock tab. But
there is no such thing as a large capacity MMC card...

The best thing about the lock tab coming off the SD card is that you never have
to worry about it again!
Does anyone actually use the lock? I never have, ever. I guess I could drop a
speck of superglue into it when I buy one.

I never had this problem.
But I broke a lot of SD cards. They are quite prone to braking or just loosing
the lock thing. I frequently have to glue the damned things together agian.
Almost all my cards have af glued lock these days. I wish Pentax had stayed
with the CF cards, which are much more durable.
