If you have an Apple Mac, you may have found out that it behaves a bit differently than Windows. One difference is that you must first do a software EJECT command for a memory card or other "device" like an external hard drive before physically removing or disconnecting it from the computer. Many times, you will get a message that data on your device might be corrupted if you did not EJECT properly.
Most times, I have found that the data did not get corrupted. But here is a dirty little secret I just read. In Peter Krogh's the DAM Book, Second Edition, he has a tip that addresses this issue (DAM is Digital Asset Management).
He suggests that the NEXT CARD YOU INSERT might become corrupt. He recommends you save your data and REBOOT your computer to prevent corruption of any subsequent card inserted after the error message is observed. More on the DAM Book to come.
