as long as your sd card reader supports the lock slider. most do, some don't.
Not saying you're wrong, but I haven't personally run into or yet heard a specific report of a Mac that doesn't respect the lock slider. On the other hand I have heard lots of specific complaints of the problem on PCs.

Sorry, I don't mean the *mac* not respecting the signal from the reader, I'm saying that some readers either don't *have* the write protect switch, or it's defective and never says "hey! this card is locked!!"

I've got at least one reader here that doesn't have the little finger that feels for the slider... so as far as that reader, and the computer it's plugged into, the care is *always* writable. it's one of the small SD card readers, about the size of your finger, where the sd card sticks into the side of it.
