I did look, Amazon had a return option for description not matching item. Odds are, I could have returned it. Still, kinda glad I kept it. I got copies of my pictures. After next weekend, there will be a backup copy as well. I recall once when a internet friend lost her Grandma. They were very close. She basically raised the girl. Then she took care of her Grandma when she got older. When I read the Grandma died, I sent a message to my friend to make several copies of all the pics and such she took. She had a LOT of them. Later she sent me a note and said she sent CDs with copies of the pics to several family members. She also dropped a copy in her safety deposit box. She thanked me for mentioning it because she had had a computer fail before and she lost pics. It never occurred to her to make copies. Now, she had copies and couldn't lose them plus she shared a lot of memories with other members of her family, maybe friends too. A lot of times people don't think about the value of things on a hard drive. At least not until something goes wrong and they lose it. Pictures and videos can be priceless and worth a lot more than money can consider. Dale :-) :-)
