This small piece of software, within minutes of downloading, made me the happiest guy in the world. My camera did something weird to my SmartMedia card, rendering it useless. Upon card insertion, the camera and subsequent computers asked if I wished to format the card. I did NOT format the card, because I had just spent 2 hours taking promo pictures for my business in lots of different locations, and figured SOMEbody could figure it out... [...] When I found this program, although it took a minute or two to figure out which "number" went with my USB SmartMedia reader, I clicked a few buttons, and this program went right to work. It took about 5-10 seconds per picture to recover - I was ELATED! Thank you for providing this piece of software for free. I figure the least I could do was come back to say thank you.
