My safest bet would be a mobile CF -> CD-burner....buying new CD's
locally is easy, so no storage limits....and you could even get
paranoid in the context of theft/burglary: burn twice, send one of
the two CD's home by mail....:))
PS: CF -> DVD-burners don't exist yet, do they?
Probably just a matter of time & growth of pixels....;))
