Butch, Thanks. It took a while for me to locate it though. There was no mention of it in all the periodicals and a web search was unsuccessful. On a whim I checked with Sandisk and found out that at least they made one. All the readers I had seen had USB interface with the computer. I prefer not using the camera to download - save battery power. I use an adapter when reading compactflash.
I know that I will eventually need a laptop dedicated to photography when I end up getting a DSLR - hopefully a *ist D. It is good to know that what is out there now will still suit me later, so it should be less expensive then. But Butch don't worry about needing excuses for buying a laptop, if I need enablement I will turn to you first :-) C�sar Panama City, Florida -- -----Original Message----- -- From: Butch Black [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 10:05 PM -- -- Cesar; -- -- If your work laptop has a PCMIA slot you should be able to -- buy a PCMIA/SSD -- adapter fairly reasonably.
