mnt/sdcard is how it is seen by the OS. sdcard is what is seen by, say, usb connection. They are essentially one and the same thing.

Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!
