#2 USPS confirmation sucks. They hardly ever update the location of a package.

#20. To many of us elders have problems handling itty bitty things like the microSD items. Having to splat some spit to pick it up isn't great for the connectors.

i had one of these for many year, still runs fine...although most of the laptops now a day comes with some sort of memory slots, and plasma also come with these...desktop...so probably not a need now.

Since I have three cameras with three different formats, this is ideal (one of them is Ben's favorite: xD and this is one of the few that supports it).

It looks very nice and works great with my Vista Computer. No problem whatsoever. It read all of my 16GB SDHC card (3 different kind) effortlessly. My only gripe with it is that it has no activity light / indicator on it. Otherwise u cannot go wrong with $5 or so with free s&h!

This thing works for CF, SD (high density too) pretty well, have no problems with it.

Do these things last?

I got one of these over a year ago and it's still going strong.
