  I think Dell's use (if that's actually what Dell does) of the term
"smart-card" when really referring to a SD card is needlessly confusing
and hence inappropriate. If they mean 'SD card', then *say* 'SD card'!

  I checked the Wikipedia 'SD card' page and there's not a single
mention of 'smart-card' (any spelling). It only mentions "smartSD cards", 
but those are special cards with a secure element, which are used in the
payment industry, i.e. nothing to do with regular SD cards.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card>

  Bottom line: micky's Dell computer has a *SD card reader*. Nothing
special.
