	Don't remind me... I pulled an introductory digital photography
guide out of storage last week...

	The device it uses to transfer data from SmartMedia cards takes two
button-cell batteries; put the SM card into it, and slide it into a 3.5"
floppy drive.

	100MB ZIP drives were suggested for sharing image files with
friends...

	And if I ever take my Amiga out of storage, I'm not sure I can even
find external SCSI drives for it... It could use a few more 1GB drives
