I got a small adapter that looks like a USB drive, but you stick the SD card in and plug in to the USB port. It's nice in that it is easy to transport and came with a 1G SD card. The SD card looks to the computer just like a removeable disk drive. So I just go swap the card out, then look at the pics either at work or at home. I think I got the card and reader at Staples or Best Buy for less than $25.
