Hi Sassan,
my PC is male... Untill a certain age they get better, the older they are...

Today I bought a CF-Card-reader for 3.30Can$ incl. tax. Thats fair...

It was a sore closing sale. And it works... So I don't have to worry any longer... Thank you so much fo all your help.
When we go back home in 1 1/2 years, we will have a new PC, but for the time here this one works. It was the decision, either a new PC or the XTi... And because of the price of the film material and processing here (processing costs 30$ incl. prints and scans in a good lab), we decided to buy the camera...
Thanks again and have a good evening/night/morning...
