Hi Sandy.

I wanted a separate card to act as a drive because wehn I do my banking in 
quicken there are certain files I like to back up somewhere to restore in 
case my hard drive crashes.  I thought that a card reader would act like a 
separate drive just like a cd.  I heard cars are more reliable then cds. 
Thought I could use windows explorer or my computer to just back up files to 
a card just like putting them on a cd.  I didn't think the readers would 
only accept mp3 files.

Thanks.

Steve
