Sort of OT; What do you do if you are on a trip and can not down load your pictures from the flash memory to your computer? 1) Buy more flash ! 2) Find a store that will copy it to CD (apparently Ritz Camera have this service) 3) Buy a really cheap laptop, leave it at your hotel, download at the end of the day 4) There are devices, which are essentially stripped down PC's with a disc which you can use to dump your CF into. I suspect that in the majority of cases (1) will turn out cheaper and more convenient and better for us stockholders as well. Dont forget that with flash, you are only keeping your good pictures. So, where on a good day on vacation I might get through a couple of rolls of 35mm, with flash I might end up with 10 or 15 pictures rather than 72, of which 60 or so are junk or duplicates. So a flash card that holds 100 or 200 pictures will have a capacity several times that of the equivalent in 35mm film. In effect with flash I have discarded the bad ones that with 35mm I had to pay to have developed and printed before I threw them away! Joe
