Arrrgghhhhh

when you're trying to connect your brand fucking new fucking fucking £200 fucking camera to the fucking computer and it simply refuses to upload anything that's one thing. Then it reformats the memory card for you without asking.

fucking fucking arrrrgghh.

then it won'd do anything at all anymore. all it will give you is an error message saying 'card not formatted'. Eventually after much searching you find the impossibly thick manual and start going through it. Some little while later you eventually find the section on error messages and there it is :-

MESSAGE : card not formatted

SOLUTION : format the card
