[Coco] Sdc question

[K. Pruitt]

I looked up what I paid for mine on eBay and they were $3.75 a piece which 
included shipping.  Mine came from a US-based seller down in Florida.

The only disadvantage to these things is you'd have to take the micro SD out 
of the adapter and plug it in to the USB adapter every time you wanted to 
add or delete images.  Not quite as convenient as a card reader that accepts 
the entire adapter and micro SD.

Some of us with bear paws for hands and dimming eye-sight have a hard time 
dealing with those tiny micro SD cards. I pull one of those things out of 
its adapter and there's about a 10% chance I'll be spending the next hour 
looking for it.  :)

A USB port for the Coco that could host one of these USB adapters would be 
nice. Though I guess it wouldn't really add any functionality to the Coco 
that the SDC doesn't already provide.
