Thanks Bob, I normally use a Sandisk 12 in one usb card reader do download from the *istD CF card. I'm just curious as to what this little plastic "card" is for. Looks like is can use memory stick, sd and PCMCIA cards. I'll take a photo of it later and post it.

The PCMCIA cards are an interchangable way to install hardware onto your laptop. You can get wireless cards, bluetooth cards, memory cards, all kinds of optional stuff. Nowdays, the Dell PC probably comes with what you want already built in and most hardware plugs into your USB ports. But it is still an easy way to get something like an SD card reader onboard.
