Just to repeat what someone said earlier: these were voted on, apparently by members of the general public. So, they (whoever they are), voted for what they liked. Rob, I disagree with you. Every photo does have "meaning" and "insight" However, "sunsets are pretty" is meaningful. And, "sun

FAT is the default for removable media, zip disks, floppies, and CD's use variations on FAT. If you just format a card using a PC it should use FAT. At 09:21 AM 1/29/04, you wrote: My daughter has a PC, but I'm Microsoft illiterate. Is FAT the default format or do I need to do something special?
