Hi Nuno,

I decided not to reply to that post as he meant well, but his analogy was
so inappropriate that it would have taken too many words for me to correct.

We've had this same absurd "argument" on the Apple newsgroups forever.
 1. Apple removes functionality so that you have to buy it back
 2. But Apple tells people the functionality was "outdated"
 3. People "believe" everything Apple tells them to believe
It's like a religion.

If Apple says sd cards are outdated, then they believe it.
Just as if ISIS says kill people of other religions, they do it.

People love to believe a "story" concocted by other people manipulating
them, where it's a fact that anyone believing SD is outdated is wrong.

There's a reason more than half of all Android sold tody have sd slots.
What sd does, no other replacement can even come close to doing.

Anyone saying otherwise, simply doesn't understand what sd can do.
It's impossible to replace what sd cards do with privacy & for free.
