I was more thinking if the whole lot ended up in the drink, most CD-R disks are waterproof so at least the pictures you'd taken up to then will survive. I don't like the chances of you being able to recover a 5 gig PCMCIA disk as easily ... besides its cheaper to make 2 copies on CD, keep one with you and perhaps post the other back home when you get a chance so you're covered both ways ... >> You mean you just suspended it each time instead of shutting >> it down?

Ah IC ... I've still got the original 95 install on my libby50, I'll be trying to triple boot 98, NT and Red Hat once I get my 20 gig disk ;-) >The Reason for using NT is, that I never used any Windows 9x and I never >want to use it... hehe I use 9x only when I really must (or when I'm set up as a dedicated gaming rig), I'm an 2k/NT/Redhat/Novell person otherwise ;-) >For Win2000 a Lib 100 is a bit weak, so for me the only choice ist NT 4.0! >It is fast and reliable, and all Libretto features (like APM) are working. I wonder how well NT will run on a 50CT with only 16 meg RAM ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
