Well, it's not really a "tab" as in a pronounced
protrusion, but more like a raised edge that gives a
fingernail purchase in order to pull out the CF card.
You'll notice on the CF card, the top edge is smooth,
while the bottom edge has a "lip" on it. Usually, the
CF slot will have a depression that allows a thumbnail
to grab the card for extraction. I've got a bunch of
CF cards and they all have this feature.
