I see that KiwiMiss was wondering if,

someone [can] recommend a card reader?

On geeks.com, follow "Flash Memory / Card Readers" -> "Card Readers"
and you'll get to "Memory Card Readers" ... you probably want the $5.99 
 All-in-One USB 2.0 Card Reader ... but you should check that whole area. 

KiwiMiss also was curious about what effect the speed difference between
a 60X and a 133X would have on creativity ...

IMO, this would be more noticable if you shoot a lot of burst mode, or if you
shoot images in RAW mode.  Why not find out how fast your camera saves
an image on your current 133X CF ... i.e. as you take a picture, count the
seconds (one thousand one, one thousand two, ..) until the disk write indicator
stops flashing ... a 60X CF would take 2X time as the 133X. 

OTOH, doubtless others will have additional opinions.
