Yes. I have a CF adapter that I use on PCMCIA with a laptop, but not so often. The desktop machine has a USB-connected CF adapter that works just as well, and SD is more common now anyway. I also have a pcwl (Orinoco Gold) card that I use on my laptop occasionally because the built-in interfaces tend to stink royally. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj at workingcode.com>
