+fairplay Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Despite the fact that anyone else will use my idea... I have a question. I'm planning a Travel Bug that would transport a memory card, so that the Geocachers could upload texts, pictures,etc What kind of memory card is used the most, or would you prefer ? hello Quote Link to comment
+Roadster Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Cool! Sony it is!!!!! Thats a good ideal. I wonder what will be the most popular. I voted for the Sony cause that is what I have. How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand... Quote Link to comment

+fairplay Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 Thank's but since the world is huge, I was aware that among all the millions of people, somebody MUST have had the same idea . But that's ok, I'm gonna re-invent the weel and use the idea as well... Just wanted to know what type I should use. So please vote hello Quote Link to comment
+Roadster Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Did you try it already Welch(or someone else)? If so what did you use and how did it work? Ideals are there to get stolen or "borrowed" How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand... Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Nope, Ive never tried it, but there has been more than discussion using this idea. I dont know what they finally desided on, but there were some fairly long threads about which memories more cachers used, how/what if it was damaged on the way, how to empty(ie:would you upload the pics back to the owner) while traveling, etc etc A new wheel! Yippee!! Wait a minute... why are we still calling it a wheel? Quote Link to comment
South_Cache Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I would do one with compact flash because I have two readers and my camera uses compact flash. I plan to send an extremly small flash card and either have people mail it to me or download it some kind of way. I am really thinking of sending out a throw-away camera in a prepaid mailing box. Of course if my TB tags ever get here. Vini Vidi Velcro I came I saw I stuck around. Capn Skully Quote Link to comment
+Morty's Twisted World Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 I know its ancient stuff, but why not play it safe and use a floppy disk. But have a locked file on it, such as NotePad since its so small, to use as a template if someone screws up the latest file. BUt have the instructions where people date their file on the disk, and people open the most current file, do a SAVE AS and add their comments, then save their file with a new date on the disk. And maybe have a comment on your Bug page, where people that plan to hold on to it for a few days, send you the latest files on the disk, once you receive the files, you email them back telling them to delete the back logged files, only to leave the latest version that person saved. May be complicated but with a little thought I'm sure it can be simplified. Plus Floppies are cheap, not going to get some jerk decide to keep it to use on their camera or MP3 player.

You know, all of these are interesting ideas, but what happens when someone of the non-thinking variety, and let's face it, they're out there, decides to put it in a cache out in Arizona in the middle of August?

+kayakanimal Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Here is one for $10 and is 64 megs.It automaticly loads the drivers for Windows ME, 2000 or XP but you could include the drivers on a floppy for 98 with it. Here it is. They also have ones with more storage space. Quote Link to comment
