`
`The preamble of claim 1 is
`limiting, and claim 1 is
`directed to a reader, not
`the combination of a
`reader and a portable
`computer.
`
`An electronic device that is
`designed to be connected to a
`portable computer that by itself is
`not capable of receiving
`information from or providing
`information to a user because it
`lacks input and output means, as
`those terms are defined below. In
`other words, the portable
`computer needs the reader for the
`user to interact with the computer.
`
`An electronic device that is
`designed to be connected to a
`portable computer, wherein the
`portable computer lacks input and
`output means, as those terms are
`defined below, but includes a
`processor, a memory, and an
`operating system. In other words,
`the portable computer needs the
`reader for the user to interact with
`the programs, hardware, and user
`information of the portable
`computer.
