   Conveniently, between SDXC being a new, revised format(allowing us to reprise the delightful confusion of “Is this SD reader SDHC compatible or not?”) and the SDXC native format being exFAT(MS proprietary, native support only in Vista, 7, and late revisions of CE, downloadable for XP, everybody else can suck it), I probably won’t be able to download anything at all…

   At this point, I refuse to believe that SD cards aren’t magic.
