EPIC FAIL concerning digital cameras / Six forced wins / Top-selling fruit

This is where Corey attempts to help me with this digicam that I didn't ask for:

[22:50:11] Flami: what am I supposed to do with this digital camera?!
[23:50:39] Corey: go to a women's locker room and take pictures of naked girls?
[23:52:54] Flami: no... like, how do I figure out how to use it?
[23:54:13] Corey: yeah, you can't take pictures of naked girls until you figure that out, good point
[23:54:18] Corey: well, usually you turn it on first...
[23:54:42] Corey: then there's a switch or a wheel thing that puts it in the different modes... then you push the button to take a picture
[23:58:04] Flami: I know my mom gave me the manual - I'd figure it out tomorrow, but you won't be here then
[23:58:19] Corey: I won't?
[23:58:31] Flami: not at the time I'll be awake
[23:59:11] Corey: I'm leaning heavily toward not going to class tomorrow (it's not my class :P)
[23:59:26] Flami: still, your "tomorrow" and my "tomorrow" are different
[00:00:57] Corey: well, figure out the camera then, they're not that complicated :P if you can turn it on, then look for a menu or more likely just a wheel thing on top with a bunch of little icons. one will be for movies, one for pictures, one for viewing pictures... just turn that to different things until the screen shows you whatever you're pointing at
[00:05:44] Flami: what the heck is an SD card? it's gotta be this MultiMedia card with a "16" on it
[00:30:29] Flami: EPIC FAIL - this card won't even go into the camera!
[00:30:54] Corey: well, you didn't even know what the card was, so I'm not sure if you're putting it in the right way or in the right place :P
[00:32:58] Flami: it's GOT to be this card!
[00:33:51] Corey: they only go in one way, so turn it around if it's not :P are you sure the camera takes SD cards? there's a ton of different memory card formats
[00:34:36] Corey: SD is really common, but there are plenty of others. if it's a Sony, it uses Sony's expensive proprietary brand
[00:35:00] Flami: it isn't a Sony - it's a Slick
[00:37:00] Flami: since this SD card thing doesn't remotely look like the drawing in the manual, I bet my mother screwed me over
[00:46:33] Flami: there is absolutely nothing else in here that looks like it could be a SD card - which the manual specifically indicates the camera takes :P
[00:47:00] Flami: is the problem that it's a 16 one instead of a 2? (MB vs. GB, I assume is what my mother meant)
[00:47:01] Corey: an SD card probably says something about being an SD card on it...
[00:47:36] Flami: "Canon MultiMedia Card" and "MMC-16M"
[00:48:24] Corey: okay, then that's an MMC, not SD
[00:48:27] Corey:
[00:48:32] Corey: that's an SD card
[00:48:55] Corey: actually, that's an SDHC card, but they're the same shape :P normally, SD doesn't go over 2 GB
[00:48:56] Flami: she said, "I have a 2 at home once you figure it out"
[00:49:17] Corey: SDHC is for bigger ones, and only newer stuff (from a couple years ago and newer) will work with those
[00:50:13] Corey: well, I looked it up, and MMC MIGHT be the same thing...
[00:50:30] Corey: I have a USB SD card adapter, and it's called SD / MMC adapter... so maybe
[00:50:40] Corey: the SD Wikipedia page talks about SD / MMC
[00:50:50] Flami: oh good, I was about to make a status update about the EPIC FAIL
[00:51:16] Flami: but since it's a Canon card attempting to be used in a Slick camera, would the brands have any bearing on it?
[00:51:26] Corey: okay, never mind - there's a section about how they're similar, but different........
[00:51:36] Corey: brands don't matter at all if it's the right kind
[00:52:03] Corey: okay, never mind, again... "Devices with SD slots can use the thinner MMCs, but standard SD cards will not fit into the thinner MMC slots. "
[00:52:19] Corey: if that's a 16 MB card, though, that's like four pictures in a modern camera.......
[01:00:32] Flami: so should I try again? (no force)
[01:09:57] Corey: metal contact end goes in first, only one way... it should go in fairly easily if you have it the right way. it's really not that hard, since there are only two ways to even attempt putting it in
[01:12:34] Flami: okay, wait a minute... does this thing needs to be on in order for me to insert it?
[01:13:43] Corey: no
[01:21:12] Flami: that's what I thought - NOW WHAT?
[01:21:58] Corey: put it in the right place?
[01:38:02] Flami: metal contact... the one with the little silver squares?
[01:39:04] Corey: do you see anything else?
[01:39:46] Flami: wait - the squares are more gold than silver now in this light... but the other end has "Made In Japan - CE" on it :P
[01:41:14] Flami: there's a little arrow pointing in what I assume is the right direction to insert the card into the slot... just tried, and it won't work
[01:41:45] Corey: put it in the right place on the camera, then
[01:42:23] Flami: I did
[01:48:50] Corey: then why doesn't it go in? :P and the arrow is probably for the lock thing on the side, not the direction.. the arrow on my SD card is not pointing at the end that goes in
[01:49:11] Corey: I'm not sure how this is confusing, though, since one end is plain plastic and obviously won't do anything if you plug it in somewhere
[01:49:14] Flami: how should I know?!
