Our viewer video of the week arrived with this email:
Hey Dick and Chad,
Here is my gadget video. https://youtu.be/BnFYu27KS2M
It is a Digital Wallet, it lets you copy files off of a memory card and store them on it's internal 6GB hard drive. I used it on a few trips, it probably got the most use on a motorcycle trip I took and where I didn't have space to carry a laptop computer with me. At the time I had mainly 64 megabyte cards and if I remember right when I bought the digital wallet the cards were around $1 per megabyte.
Here is an old review of it. I think I bought it as a close out so I don't think I paid $499 for it, at least I hope I didn't pay $499 for it.

Giz Wiz adds: I think the best part of the review is the price and how it was cheaper than buying spare memory cards!
Its only big problem is the $499 price tag, which could quite possibly make it more expensive than your digital camera. However, the Digital Wallet is more versatile than flash media; you can even use it as a portable hard drive to tote big files from one PC to the next. And despite its price, it gives you more bang for the buck than you'd get by buying several spare memory cards.

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos!
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
-
My Favorite Gadget of All Time: Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video! IMPORTANT: We'll just shower you with praise for your video if you live outside the US or Canada since we can't afford to send stuff outside of those two places. (Thanks for understanding.)
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
