Just curious why you'd not want to use a card reader. Might you be

the cable for some other feature of the camera other than just uploading

Naw, nothing as sophisticated as that, Shel - <g>. No, I'm just an

the USB cable to connect my DS with any of my PC's, without having to

You can get a USB 2.0 SD card reader that looks like a USB2 flash drive,
is 1/10 the size of the cable, and can fit on your keyring for about $20
or so. It's less to carry and easier to use than plugging in the camera
with the USB cable. Also faster... possibly more compatible too!

Or take this opportunity to enable yourself with a new notebook
computer, and make sure it's one that has an SD card reader built in.
You really WANT the new notebook. Ignore the fact that you can buy a
USB reader for $20, and take that plunge into a new notebook WITH card
reader built-in. ;)
