Is my question, or my motives warranting the "huh"?
I have a little LCD photo frame (similar to this one http://www.magicdigitalframes.com/images/DPF/Philips_7FF1CWO.jpg).
It reads compact flash cards that plug into the back of the unit. It has a small internal hard drive, but it holds about 25 pictures on low res.
So, what I need to do is load images from my computer onto a compact flash card.
I'm having a hell of a time finding out how to do this...

Rosseau,
I can upload pix to my cards via a cheap card reader. I use a $15 SanDisk for my compact flash media. It is basically identified as another drive whether you use a Mac or a PC.
On my Mac, I use the "export" function. On my PC, I use the "save as" function. You just have to specify where to send it. For example, when I've got a Lexar card in the reader, it shows up on my desktop as "Lexar Media". On some PC's you can give the card reader a "letter" designation as you would your other drives.
HTH,
Luis

Thanks for the help. I ended up going out and buying a card reader after failing to find a good way to upload using my camera.
The card reader does the trick just fine. It's fast, easy to use and doesn't waste camera battery. The downside is it's another $20 spent on a $1.00 item from China.
Oh well, time to enjoy the picture frame
