    FAT just means file allocation table - it's the file system that came before NTFS and it is on just about every memory stick/flash ram card.

    Quickie update:

    Bandit went back to vet today - no signifianct lumps or bumps found..:T....wound still looks clean with no pus (despite the fact he has been nibbling it)..:beer:..his coat is glossier....:j.and although he suddenly stopped pooing for a few hours yesterday causing a bit of a panic..:eek:....a handful of grass and dandelions seems to have got things moving again :rotfl::rotfl:. He will be staying indoors on his antibiotic/homeopathic cocktail for the next four weeks..........he's NOT out of the woods.....vet says it could flare up at any time...:(...but his chances have improved since this time last week :j:j. Next vet visit - 4 weeks time :D

    Wol has made complete recovery following "womiting wednesday"..:beer:..but has not been able to get a lot of work done as has been interrupted by visitors/phone calls etc all day today :mad:


    No news re the biopsies :mad:

    Numpty and I have been helping a friend of mine with their debts:Just received a "This is now closed" letter from Mackenzie Hall :dance::dance::dance:.....who have been trying to collect an already statute-barred debt for the last three years :mad:.......that's two down..........7 to go :cool::D:T

    But most importantly.........:j:j...I have seriously cut my wine consumption this week...:j:j......maximum consumption on any one night has been one large glass (3 units) of mulled wine :j:j...and had 4 alcohol-free days...:j:j

    Difficult to get any sense out of her :wall::wall::wall:..she can see the pictures when she puts the card back in the camera ( I think :confused::confused:). But when she puts the card in the card reader, the computer can;t read the images ....there are just black squares....:confused::confused:.despite the fact that arlier on she successfully transferred some of the images from the card onto the computer....but now it can;t access any of the images at all :confused::confused:
