Thanks to everyone for their replies, I learned a lot!
Will stick to high speed USB sticks for now, but it’s nice to have a universal reader, heck, only cost me a buck. Garage sales RULE!!

I’ve been using SD cards for several yrs., primarily in cameras.
Learned of a feature last week that I didn’t know. (duh)
They have a write protection lock on them just like the old floppy.
Where have I been?

Personally, I prefer CF cards for two reasons.
- They are faster (or at least can be faster. This is an issue in higher-end cameras, because of the size of the files. If you're doing sports photography, and want to dump a shot or to per second to the card, you to have a fast card.
- You can label them. Micro-SD cards are just too freaking small IMO, as you can't put a useful label on them so you can tell what is on it. SD cards are a little better, but CompactFlash cards actually have a place on them to write what is on them.
Yeah, I know. Everybody likes these cool little cards barely bigger than your pinky nail, but I believe there is such a thing as something being too freaking small to be useful.
