I take it "esteemed" is no longer to be used in the same sentence?
Who? Chuck him out of the "clud"!!!

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?
