I take it "esteemed" is no longer to be used in the same sentence?
Who? Chuck him out of the "clud"!!!
my lips are sealed if he wants to identify himself it's his decision

More importantly, I do like it when someone tests technology to the limits for me! What actually happened?
I don't know precisely, but basically the card was taken out whilst it was on and pictures were being looked through, which appears to have resulted in pictures 38-103 being corrupted (truncated files or something). The worst bit is that I lost all my DBR9 pics, apart from the one above. But the conversation that followed when I discovered the mistake was priceless!

nope - i'm not actually too fussed. do you know of any software for mac?
I got Lexar Image Recovery with with a Lexar CF card. (I was looking for a CD until the penny dropped!) I see that I saved it in a folder called 'PC' which bodes well for you as it implies there was a Mac version too.
I've had two cards die on me. One just started getting 'stuck' when downloading to the computer... always about 40 pics in - the other never worked from the start (1 gb SanDisk Extreme) Just got 'no card' on the camera - not even able to format.
Everything I buy breaks anyway. I think it's me. Brand new water cooled PC from Sony was D.O.A. (waterlogged methinks), E46 M3 gearbox failed 'cos I drove it over 40 mph down the hanger straight, sold a Hasselblad to someone from here and it promptly dies now I'm in the process of getting foundations built for a new house... will they be flat? Will they boll**ks!
edited to add... nice pics BTW

I'll drop the penny for you - it was on the CF card It also came with a Jumpshot card reader so you just copy the stuff over. But I dumped the Mac version, sorry.
However ScoobySnax had the same card; maybe ask him?
