I also noticed that B&H and Sandisk have lots of other rebates going on
at the moment. You can get an 8GB Extreme III CF card for $60 after $40
rebate. The rebate seems to work out to $5 per GB.
On a related note I just bought an Expresscard/CF adapter from this
seller on oboy. Cheap and works fine but very little faster than my
Sandisk USB 2 CF reader.

I bought it because I had sold my Sandisk CF reader to my niece. I
thought I wouldn't need it since I had just gotten a new Dell with
built-in multi reader. Then I bought a Dell laptop just before our
recent driving trip to Florida. I had queried Dell before I bought it
about whether it had a built-in CF reader. They assured me that it did.
Well, it has capability for reading every type of flash card known to
man *except* a CF card. Since the CF reader was gone I figured I'd just
use the camera as a reader so I took the USB cable for the Canyon. But
I also took the Mynolta A1. I didn't take its cable since I figured I'd
just stick the Mynolta's cards into the Canyon for download. Wrong!
The Canyon is not just a dumb disk drive. It filters by Canyon file
types. When the laptop asks to take a look at the Mynolta card the
Mynolta card is empty. You'd think as a former software test manager
I'd learn to test things ahead of time. Anyhow the ExpressCard adapter
is a bit faster and much more compact than a separate USB reader.
