[Thinkpad] Re: PC card slot durability, reasons for multiple CF adapters

This question came up on the HP palmtop mailing list and the conclusion
was that the PC card slot was more durable than most of the rest of the
machine. I know that some MAC powerbooks had problems with the card
eject mechanism but I blame that on the fact that they had the eject
function done electrically (like a MAC floppy drive).

Considering my request for compact flash adapters in bulk I would point
out that I have several (4 or 5) computers with card slots so I often
need to use several CF cards at once. Thus for me it makes sense to have
almost as many adapters as I have cards.
