Ok, done getting the card out of the computer
Can I just say:
What a pain in the @%%!
Had to call Sean (woke him up twice) a few times to figure out:
how to get the case open
how to get at the drive slot that was behind a metal bar
how to unscrew it when 1 screw is stripped
So when that wouldn't come undone and finally finangled getting the drive out between all the other mess of cords and wires etc.......
started shaking the stupid card reader to get my photo card to come out!
Literally shook it for about 10 minutes and was about to cry that I'd never get my card out
Finally it fell out!
Then the card reader cord became disconnected from the mother board and I had no idea where that connected to
Called Sean again..... sent him photos from my cell phone....
pulled out the manual for the motherboard....
Finally got it plugged in.....
Then waiting to see if the computer would turn back on again or if something else got disconnected while I tried to shove that old card slot back into it's place
Yay

So far everything has turned back on ok, as you can see
Ok, I think I'm about ready to insert my card THE CORRECT WAY

and see if it or the reader were not totally damaged by all my shaking.....
Stay tuned to see if I'll have pictures from this weekend.
Wait:
I think I really need a big glass of wine for this
