Maybe, but the Other OS doesn't speak to the flash cards that all the rest of the house portables INCLUDING THE CAMERA use. Grr. The advantage of LS-120 or ZIPs is that a moderately large number of client sites I'd visit will have *desktops* with the support. Now that I have a CD-RW drive it's less of a big whoop. Everyone has CD bays, and the laptops I have access to that don't have CDs of their own all work great with the one Addonics PCMCIA/ATAPI bay I own. Anyone try their RW by the way? If I want to share stuff with my Thinkpad, I use the network. It speaks ethernet just fine with a D-link card. * Heather
