Subject: RE: The Floppy Disk is dead? Long live the Multi-Format memory card reader?John,
The demand from customers wanting to download images from digital cameras prompted us to buy USB card readers before we replaced our PCs with “non floppy ones”.
We purchased online from a well known camera retailer and they cost approximately £12 each.
- Accepts all current popular memory card formats
- Compatible with: Compactflash, Compactflash II, Smartmedia, xD-Picture card, SD, Mini SD, Multimedia card, RSMMC, Microdrive, Memorystick, Memorystick Pro, Memorystick Duo, Memorystick Pro Duo, Memorystick Magicgate, S Magicgate Duo.

Sorry for the cross-posting.
With the absence of floppy drives on new PC's, is there any evidence in our market place of a growth in demand, not just for USB drives, but for readers for Memory cards of various formats (SD, CF, MMC etc), for Cameras, PDA's etc. (and some Panasonic TV's!)
Corporate PC purchases tend to be of 'business' machines, which generally lack this provision, so there is an additional cost to us for this if we want it.
Any thoughts?
Regards
JU
