My 256MB Fuji camera memory card I had for a year won't store
pictures when a picture is taken. But it will respond to access from a PC
hook up via a USB cable. I went out and bought a 125MB card and
everything works like normal. Is it normal for a card to expire so soon
or did I abuse it?

It died. Stuff happens.
