Abstract
A card can be removably stored in a computer. The card has a first half portion that includes a first end portion having a first connector, a second half portion including a second end portion opposite to the first end portion, and a first electrically conductive portion disposed in the second half portion. The computer includes an upper portion including a data input device and a flat panel display device coupled to the upper portion. A side portion, continuous with the upper portion, has a card insertion opening for receiving the card. A card storing portion, disposed within the computer, stores the card when the card is received into the card insertion opening. A second connector, disposed in the card storing portion, removably connects to the first connector when the card storing portion stores the card so as to electrically connect the card with the computer. A second electrically conductive portion, disposed in the card storing portion near the card insertion opening, contacts the first electrically conductive portion when the card storing portion stores the card.
