My new toy!

*sing song voice* I got a new toy! I got a new toy! I got a new toy! I got a new toy! And it's not him... ...or him either... ...although I wish they were. *evil grin* Ha! But I made you look anyway. Ladies, remember that curiosity killed the pussycat. Okay, enough eye candy, ladies. Now seriously this morning before coming to work I drove by Walgreens and bought a card reader. Here's a pic of my little electronic toy. It reads 11 types of memory cards, and it's powered through the USB cable so I don't have to go around looking for a socket to plug it in. It reads and writes all kinds of files - MS Word, Excel, photos taken with the digital camera, etc. Isn't that cool? *g* Now I don't need to hook my PC Pocket and digital camera to my PC, with all the mess of all those cables, to transfer files. All I have to do is hook the card reader to my PC, insert the CF or SD card, and *tah dah* "drag & drop" whatever file I want. Is that convenient or what? And since it's so small (and weightless), I can take it in small backpack with me everywhere. So while I work on a story on the PC at work, I can save my files in both a diskette and the CF card, and when I get home I can use either to transfer it to my PC. And if I don't want to be tempted by the internet, I just insert the CF card in my PC Pocket (which I've not hooked to the internet, thank goodness!) and write. I love my new toy!
