:That was confusing as I thought you were talking about USB ports at first. I don't have a USB Flash drive and see no reason to have one. Why would I want one? What would I need it for?
You wouldn't want one and don't need one.

I find them extremely useful for transferring pictures from my digital camera to my PC. Plugging the camera into the PC works but I find it awkward and slower than just popping my CF card into the USB2 reader. I also find it extremely useful for transferring files/programs between PC's.
I agree with Howie! I too use a USB CF card reader to transfer my photos.
