I installed a generic memory-card reader salvaged from a friend’s malfunctioning computer and tested it with the one memory card I had lying around; a 32 MB Sony memory stick. It’s obsolete now - I don’t and have never had the right kind of camera for it - though my previous printer had the correct interface… the gist being that the stick has been sitting on my desk for about five years now, unused, yet I could never bring myself to toss it because of a reluctance to trash serviceable computer memory. So anyway, I put the card in the reader, just to test the latter, and found [a picture I took of my cats](http://picpaste.com/Caramel_and_Spider-EhMTLmmb.JPG) in 2007, which I thought I’d lost forever. Sadly, the smaller cat is no longer with us, but I still like the photo itself and the luckiness of getting such a good pose, with the tail and paw in tidy parallel and all, and no camera flare in the cats’ eyes. ---

This is so cool. I love it when cats look all serious and thoughtful like these two are. Glad you found it! See, it pays to keep everything. ---

That is a great picture of the cats - I can just see them sitting there, both staring at you - “You know, a PROPER owner would be feeding us right about now.” ---

I sent in a picture of the duo, on the same monitor, [some time back.](http://www.lolcats.com/view/12261/) ---

The tom is evil. You can see it in his eyes. The cat was sweet. I can see why you miss her.
