Oh goody. I was worrying that the card they were first reporting would turn out to be just 3rd party (though had the need arisen I would have tried out the 3rd party cards myself), but now I won't have to do that. Fortunatly, even if I did have to get a 3rd party card, and even if it did delete everything, I could very easily just get a refund and a different brand card since after all it is defective. Did it long ago with a megamemory PS1 memory card, getting 2 normal ones for the price of "not really a memory card so much as a place holder FOR a real memory card".
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
