Well that clears things up a bit. Thanks Ed.
I was thinking in terms of a protrusion that you could grab like I've
seen on other devices.
I see what you mean by the lip. Although, I would hate to rely on it to
get my card out. I definitely would prefer to use the eject button.
BTW, on my Canon IXY 200 digital camera, the lip is away from the door
opening -- as in the wrong side. So I can't use it. However, there is a
small gap between the edge part and the top where I can get my fingernail
in to pull the card out.
