From Charlene's messages I infer she's talking about a backup copy of her own digital photographs. Especially from the field e-mail may be a viable solution, although I wouldn't do it since a lot of servers will simply delete the attachment. Many others would mangle it, all in all the chance of losing the backup is much greater with e-mail than with CDs lost through postal services. If my inference is correct, my advice is a small and rather cheap device known as Vosonic's X-Drive. It's nothing more than a slightly oversized card reader (capable of reading all flash memory cards) with a notebook HD in it. It's a two-button solution - just power it on, put in your memory card and push "Transfer", 1 GB takes a few minutes. At home (or in the hotel) you connect the X-Drive via USB 2.0 to your computer and copy or load the images to it. Charlene, if you are reading this and I am right, you are welcome to contact me privately. -- Dierk Haasis :Dierk: Copy 'n' Concept The Bat 3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Chat info for ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber upon request Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.
