Uggghh so my underwater camera is an olympus.  (Really wish it was a Nikon for that last photo contest)

 

For some reason it took an XD card (nope not SD where every laptop has one), and had a proprietary USB cord.

 

Now my wife is wanting pics from one of our trips...can I find an Xd Reader, NOPE, can I find that stupid USB cable...NOPE.

 

In fact I think I remember not being able to enter a photo contest in the the Bahamas for the same reason, can't get the pics off it.

 

I need to be smarter about backing things up.

I've had an Olympus or 3 over the years... yeah, those XD Cards are annoying. Kinda like the old Sony memory sticks. Either you had the cable or you were out of luck!
