                    1.  A portable mass memory device, comprising:                                 
                    a housing;                                                                     
                    a mass memory supported within the housing;                                    
                    a memory card receptacle within the housing, the memory card                   
              receptacle configured to receive a compact moveable memory card;                     
                    a processor;                                                                   
                    a data access program executable by the processor and configured to            
              enable transfer of data from a compact moveable memory card placed in the            
              memory card receptacle to the mass memory; and                                       
                    wherein the device is not enabled to allow data stored in the mass             
              memory to be edited other than selective arrangement and deletion of data            
              from the mass memory.
