I did look, Amazon had a return option for description not matching
item.  Odds are, I could have returned it.  Still, kinda glad I kept
it.  I got copies of my pictures.  After next weekend, there will be a
backup copy as well. 

I recall once when a internet friend lost her Grandma.  They were very
close.  She basically raised the girl.  Then she took care of her
Grandma when she got older.  When I read the Grandma died, I sent a
message to my friend to make several copies of all the pics and such she
took.  She had a LOT of them.  Later she sent me a note and said she
sent CDs with copies of the pics to several family members.  She also
dropped a copy in her safety deposit box.  She thanked me for mentioning
it because she had had a computer fail before and she lost pics.  It
never occurred to her to make copies.  Now, she had copies and couldn't
lose them plus she shared a lot of memories with other members of her
family, maybe friends too.  A lot of times people don't think about the
value of things on a hard drive.  At least not until something goes
wrong and they lose it.  Pictures and videos can be priceless and worth
a lot more than money can consider.
