Mac Question

Every time I plug in my Sd photo card in it's card reader to the USB port on my mac it automatically opens Iphoto, which it totally unnecessary. How do I change this?

Every time I do an export from IPhoto, iphoto crashes and I have to force-quit it and restart to continue. This is why I'd rather not use iphoto, but other than that little crashing issue it works for what i want to do.  Suggestions?

advice sought re: Palm device

I purchased a Palm Z22 on March 31 of this year (it's 7 months old) and today, with no warning, it shut off and will not turn on. The palm web site says this model has a 90 day warranty. I do have all of the info backed up onto my computer as of last night. But but but.... my portable brain!!!

Should I a) buy another; b) wait until my phone comes up for replacement in March and buy a combo unit; c)run in circles scream and shout?

And - if a above - should I just buy another of the same model, or upgrade to one with a 1 yr warranty?
