Another idea is to store your working file in Dropbox (download for free); then when you turn on your netbook and it connects to the internet, any updated files will be transferred to your netbook automatically. If you don't already have it, let me know and I'll send you a link. If you sign up via a link, you and I both get additional free storage space. Email me privately if you need that :-) Kathy
