Can anyone point me to an article or give me information about the  
life time of compact flash cards?  After all the work I am putting  
into setting up NetBSD on my Mobilepro 790, I don't want to lose it!   
How do folks out there deal with the prospect of cards going bad?

I have a Powerbook with a PC card slot and an appropriate adapter for  
my CF card.  Does anyone have a good solution for backing up a CF  
card using a Mac, for instance, writing the contents of the CF card  
to a file on my Powerbook in some way?

Thanks,
