Less expensive digital cameras come with a built-in, inflexible storage medium. More expensive ones provide slots to support removable storage media such as floppy disks or smart cards. As a rule, a digital camera comes with a cable that allows you to transfer images to your computer without removing the storage medium. Otherwise, you move the data from the camera to your computer manually, inserting the medium into the appropriate drive of your computer. Some newer printers also come equipped with slots for memory cards, so that you can print photos without using your computer. Most digital cameras come with a "starter" memory card. However, this card usually doesn't have much storage capacity - a prime consideration, since a 16MB card in a 3-megapixel (three million pixels) camera can only store about 13 high-resolution JPEG images. The CompactFlash card is a popular choice for digital film that has a top capacity of 1 gigabyte (GB).

Sometimes there's one right answer, but more often than not (just as in real life) there are several ways to approach the problem -- and that's why reading how other people would troubleshoot the Challenge is a fun way to learn. CHALLENGE #7: Kennedy High School had five computer labs that were on a token ring network but operated independently. Tim, the technology teacher, was given the ok to connect the labs to each other. Should he keep the labs token ring or make the switch to Ethernet? You tell us. >>Try the challenge http://whatis.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]^1@.1dcfae0e/49!viewtype=threadDate&skip=&expand= ______________________ QUIZ #28 | Ethernet How much do you know about the most popular network technology in the world?
