ICD Image Capture Device. Can be used for film or electronic image capture. "Digital" is a name that has caught on, originally for its supposed fidelity and reproducibility. The first electronic cameras were those based on television and the recorded on to an analogue tape. These cameras were very expensive and extremely low quality. Now things have improved. And I'm shredding all those film based holiday snaps..... Now how do I shred CD's?
