I found that if I take pictures with my C3030, take out the SmartMedia card and plug
it into any one of my two cardreaders, and copy the picture files off onto my PC,
my Olympus C3030 will signal that my card is in ERROR and fail to reformat or use
that nice, expensive Smartmedia card ever again.
Olympus gives you no warning about this. I love the C3030 but I am annoyed to no
end about how Olympus has dropped the ball on giving us support on this issue.
