[gui-talk] A new kind of accessibility:

[Joel Deutsch]

Dave,

Well, I have one thumb drive stuck into a front-side USB port all the time 
to which I copy various things I want to keep backed up from my hard drive. 
So if I'm understanding you, this is some sort of device that provides extra 
input slots for more such things, sort of the way a power strip lets you 
plug a bunch of devices into one outlet? And when you select one of the 
things you've got attached to it, it shows up in Windows Explorerr just the 
way my one and only thumb drive shows up now? Is that pretty much how it 
works? It's a thing that plugs into that USB port and sits on the desk in 
front of your computer and has a few slots in it for a few thumb drives?

At least I understand it isn't a gypsy lady who reads Tarot cards. That's 
the only meaning I could think of, which is what such fortune tellers are 
generally called. Card readers or Tarot card readers. That's Taroh, Mr. 
Jaws.

A card reader is a small device that hooks up to your computer,
usually via an USB connection, and accepts one or more flash storage
cards, such as SD or compact flash, or memory sticks.  The card then
appears to your computer as does another drive so you can move files
to and from it.
