It's actually a PC Card slot-- PCI Card slots are for desktops.  (Unless I'm
mistaken)... You can use it for a number of things-- I have a compact-flash
adapter for mine, so I don't have to carry around a cable for my camera, I
just pull out the CF card and stick it in my tibook.  I know people also use
them to get better wireless reception (put an 802.11b card in there), and
I'm sure there are hundreds of other uses, but I think using it to read
digital camera media is probably the most common.

Welcome to the TiBook family!  which one did you get?
