Hi Mark, Have you considered something like an ultralight laptop? You can load your own software for viewing and do editing and even take care of your email while you are out.

This is the current version (Australian site in Australian dollars) http://www.lifebook.com.au/?pageID=Model&id=93 I hibernate the PC when I'm not using it and find that it comes back quickly enough to not be a bother - and it can be set to hibernate after a short inactive time if you want to start the card downloading and put it back into your bag. Just an alternate thought on managing images on the run. -- Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon Mark Cassino wrote: > My X's Drive II is back to having problems reading SD cards, so it's > time to get a new image storage device.
