REVIEWS:
1) compact flash card adaptor for laptop: I think the product name is pretty applicable. Simple (Tech) is right! Just plug in the cf card and plug into a PC card slot and it works. No drivers necessary (under XP).
Very inexpensive, too!
2) Real plug and play reader: This real plug and play compact flash card reader is a must for every laptop owner. Any laptop has a PCMCIA slot, and every laptop nowadays comes with a modem , LAN , built in, so you use the PCMCIA slot for nothing, but the reader.
I usually keeps it plugged in the laptop, and take a backup for my critical files on it. With a 512 MB card, it really takes a lot, and provides me with peace of mind with an online , reliable and fast backup.
With technology, the storage capacity doubles every 12 months , and the MB/$ drops by half every 9 month. Soon, you will be able to buy a 10 GB compact flash card for the price of 512 MB nowadays. And, still , you will use the same reader !!
3) Gets the job done: It"s your basic compact flash/PCMCIA adapter card. Great for laptops when all you want to do is transfer digital pictures from your compact flash to your laptop.

Too bad this an Office Depot product that you can"t pick up in the store. The shipping alone pretty much kills this product as a good deal.
