Howdy!,   
      
   I use a SD Card in my Digital Camera, when I remove the SD Card and put   
   it in a "SD Card - USB Adapter" to move the photos from the Card to my   
   Computer, I slide the "Lock Lever" on the Card to the Lock position.   
      
   I consider the "Lock Lever" on a SD Card to be the same thing as the   
   "Write Protect" Button on 3.5 Inch Floppy Disk(s), to keep my computer   
   from Writing something to the Card when I didn't want "IT" to.   
      
   I've used that SD Card since I bought the Camera in 2012, but the   
   other day when I took the Card out of the "Adapter" and slide the Lever   
   up to the regular "Write" position, the Lever fell off of the SD Card.   
      
   When I put the SD Card in my Camera and turned the Camera On, there was   
   a message on the LCD Display telling me the Card was Write Protected.   
      
   After I found the tiny Lever & put it back on the SD Card (not knowing   
   if I had put it on the Card correctly), placed it in the Camera and after   
   Turning the Camera On I saw an image on the LCD Display, which told me   
   that I had put the Lever onto the SD Card correctly.   Hooray!!!!!!   
      
         But   
      
   I was wondering if the Lever would work if I put it in the "Lock" position,   
   so I moved the Lever, put it in my Camera, and when I turned the Camera ON   
   I saw the Write Protect Message again.   
      
   I moved the Lever up to the regular position and when I turned the Camera   
   ON I saw an image on the LCD Display, which told me that "I" had put the   
   Lever back on the SD Card CORRECTLY.   
      
   I was wondering if "Anyone Else" has had the same experience with the Lever   
   falling off their SD Card?   
      
   [Second Topic]   
      
   Since the commonly used USB "Thumb Drives" don't come with a Write Protect   
   Lever on them, I've been using "Micro SD Cards" in the "Micro SD Adapter"   
   that comes with them, along with my "SD Card - USB Adapter" instead of   
   using the Thumb Drives I've bought, since I can use the "Lock Lever" on   
   the Micro SD Adapter when I didn't want whatever computer I plugged it   
   in to "Accidently" Write something to my Memory Card.   
      
   Yes, I have heard of some USB "Thumb Drives" that have a Lever to Disable   
   Writing to them, iirc those things CO$T MORE just to get that Lever on them.   
      
   Thanks for reading.
