when it all goes....


this morning i had to download a bunch of pictures into the old iphoto and, on the new imac, the sd card slot is on the side of the computer right next to, like 3mm away from, the slot for the dvd/cd drive. as i reached, without looking - somthing i have done many times since owning this new machine - i accidently shoved it in the dvd/cd slot.
pure genius.
and as i tried to get it out - as i could still see part of it...i managed to shove it in even farther. nice work. strong effort. so...off to the old interweb i went. and after some reading about paper clips and cut business cards, etc. , i settled on a thin wooden tongue depresser type of number with tesa tape - a double sided glazer's tape on it (i did for the record try the paper clip method and it sucekd...) and i was a winner about 30 seconds after shoving the wood into the slot. (pardon?) so...if this ever happens to you - and it won't i'm sure...that's how you get an sd card out of the dvd/cd slot.
you're welcome.
