Yeah, but for some of us, we've never "imaged an SD card" in our lives, and have no idea of how that works. I worry a lot about stuff like this, because my PC is not fully reliable and frequently hangs up, freezes or blue screens. I'm not sure how well it would handle any lengthy writing to an SD card.

I'm considering the AFN card for my first root experience. I'm also thinking of trying to make my own card, since that's clearly cheapest, but it's definitely way outside my comfort zone, to be sure! And I'd bet I'm not the only senior citizen who is a little intimidated by this stuff, even though I have reasonable computer skills.

It's like the whole lingo of rooting is a foreign language!
