I was following the thread on SmartMedia cards.
I was wondering what you folks do when on the road in terms of printing.
I suppose my questions are:
-I was thinking of getting one of those cute USB flash memory card that you can plug into your 'book and move your files there, then go to a print shop and have them printed.
If you mean a memory stick like this <http://www.sandisk.com/retail/cruzer-mini.asp> They're recognized on any Mac with a USB port an OS 8.6 or greater, and any PC with a USB port Win2000 or XP (98 needs a driver) seamlessly. Plug 'em in, they pop up on the desktop, or in My Computer.
Our faculty *love* these things. They can stick tons of Powerpoints on them and carry those to lectures and meetings. My old boss is on a NCI advisory group, and when they get together for meetings they all bring their laptops and trade these sticks around to get up to date with all their documents and stuff.
We use them incessantly carrying drivers, patches, AV software (for the PC's ;-)
They're rugged, reliable and immensely handy.
Best bet when on the road is print your document to PDF on the stick, then you can print it at just about any print shop, internet cafe, or many libraries.
