Cheap USB card reader (Working!)

| Just to let people know.
I was fed up with an old Trust card reader I had that never seemed to want
to work, so I just got a cheap (£13ish) 8 in 1 card reader from Argos (in
the UK).
Plugged it in and it works with no problems at all.
Debian testing with a 2.6.15 kernel and the latest udev / hal bits and
pieces.
It's small, silver and has nice flashy lights.
I've used Linux in various forms for years as a second email / proxy server
and just recently switched to 100% Debian on one box.
It works a treat. It's perfectly possible to author DVD's, re-code AVI's,
and just generally work better and smarter. The only downside is a lack of
windows games... Maybe time to get a PlayStation or something

crucial.com also has inexpensive units that work.
