Yup, if you have USB2 ports on your computer, be sure to get a USB2 card reader... I got a cheapo generic USB2 6-in-1 multiformat card reader (
www.7dayshop.com - think they only ship to the UK though), and it does the job quickly and was only about £14... plus it reads any other type of memory card you might have.
definitely worth getting, using the usb link to the axim to transfer large amounts of files is deaaaaaad slow compared.
