Dominating Procrastination: They Don’t Make SD Card Readers Like They Used To!

This is not to say that there aren’t good SD card readers these days, just that I doubt they would stand up to the kind of abuse I run them through.  In fact, I’m quite unsure how the particular reader I have now has lasted as long as it has!

Take a look at the poor thing!

Not only has it lost it’s casing (about 2 years ago?), but now the USB connector is bent:

And yet, somehow, it still works (The photos of the reader in this post where transferred onto my computer using it)! 

Although I most likely should buy another reader, since this one still works and I don’t use it all that often, I think I’ll stay in the spirit of Procrastination Domination and wait a bit longer :p :).

What about you?  Do you have old tech that you still use, or do you upgrade regardless if the old tech is still serviceable (no complaints here as I am rather partial to shiny things (inside joke) :) ?  Speaking of upgrading, when this thing does finally die, what USB SD card reader would you guys recommend?  :D
