[NPMUG] Build a Bootable Rescue SD Card For Your Mac

[Dadditude]

The possibilities of this are amazing, especially given the ready  
availability of inexpensive, high-capacity SD cards. I wonder... Can  
you set up a Boot Camp partition on an SD card?

This also makes me wonder how long 'till we see SD slots on desktop  
Macs... I would have LOVED it if my Mini had an SD card slot.
