somewhat dated but I suspect things have gotten worse rather than better in the last 4 years...

Bill, if you bring your SD card tomorrow night (if you are attending) I will bring my Toshiba FlashAir for show & tell... this is a cheaper version of the EyeFi card that has a half-way decent processor on it... an ARM version of the Edison card if you will...

I contacted Amazon Customer support and they are doing a full refund no questions asked/no return required.
Anybody want a "fake" SD card to play with?
