Just another thought: instead of the bulk and suchlike of a laptop or the expense of an image tank, you could pick up a USB external hard drive, take the USB cable for your camera (or a card reader) and use an internet cafe to copy (not transfer) images to the HDD. I bought a new LaCie 320Gb USB drive for £29.99 last week. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
