Hi! A few days ago I returned from a 2-month backpack-trip to Mexico and Guatemala. In my luggage was a digital camera and a Libretto 100. It war really a perfect combination! I could not imagine much other possibilities to transport the 5000 pictures I have taken during the trip! Low temperatures in the dessert, high humidty in the jungle, the Lib worked on all conditions well. On the Lib I had installed Win NT 4.0, all the Toshiba stuff and CardWizard to allow hot swap of the memory cards for the camera. There was not one crash, not one reboot during the whole trip! Thousands of kilometers the Lib was transported by plane, bus, boat and even by donkeys without problems. But then there was ond bad accident: I struggled and felt down, my backpack crashed hard to the concrete floor. Even the Lib was in a bag inside, the case was heavily damaged. On the first view I saw only a small crack on the case but inspecting the Lib closer showed that the upper part with the display has moved 2 mm and the inner chassis is bent, so that the Lib can't stand on a flat surface. 8-((( But fortunately it ist only a mechanical damage, it continued to work! Of course I'm looking now for possibilities to repair the Lib, to have it ready for the next trip! What I learned from this: I need a hard case for the Lib (+ AC-Adapter + Cables + Charger for the Camera) which must be upholstered and strong enough to withstand a free fall from at least 1m! regards Gerhard ________________________________________ Gerhard Kapusta Email home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax&Voicebox: +4989-1488201115 ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
