oh, what a fool

The most idiotic thing happened last night. To cut the story short, these are what I learned:

1. The card reader that comes with Compaq Presarios doesn't have a mechanism that pops out the card. Even if you insert the right card you have to use your fingernails/teeth to get it out.
   
2. MS Pro Duo cards are shorter than MS Pro cards. Why can't they just use the word mini like everyone else does?
   
3. If the card reader says it supports SD, MMC and MS/MS Pro, you should NOT put in a MS Pro Duo card.
   

So you can guess what I'm driving at. Yes, as of now, my 1GB MS Pro Duo card is still inside my friend's Presario card reader. There's no bloody way we could get it out!
