usb flash reader rocks

[Bret Hughes <bhughes elevating com>]

for those interested the Dazzle flash card reader reader works too well
in RHL 7.2.  I pluged it into an open usb port, looked in
/var/log/messages and saw that it loaded the scsi module.  hmm says I.

A 2 minute search of the archives at prairienet ( thanks again david and

mounted /dev/sda1 and I was rading pictures off it as fast as I could
type ee.  Too cool. The camera is an old serial connected one that too
way too long and chewed up batteries fast.

I almost peed my pants it was so easy.  You know, this linux thing may
be around for awhile if it keeps getting this easy to do new stuff.

I have not been this tickled since I got my first array of hashes to
work in perl.
