Remind me, exactly WHERE are you camping? I thought the only country-wide power cuts 
happened in New Zealand ... (sorry, those who aren't Aussie or New Zealanders wouldn't 
get that ;-) ....

Stranger things have happened ... I dare say your'e the first I've heard of to

Why don't you pack one of those tiny Canon printer/scanners? I got a BCJ-80 with my 
libby, works brilliantly in both printing and scanning, even using IrDA and they can 
run off batteries. Scanning takes its time though and you gotta be careful or the feed 
rollers tend to slip ... that or go digital and forget about developing altogether ;-)
