Maybe, but the Other OS doesn't speak to the flash cards that all the rest of
the house portables INCLUDING THE CAMERA use. Grr.
The advantage of LS-120 or ZIPs is that a moderately large number of client
sites I'd visit will have *desktops* with the support. Now that I have a
CD-RW drive it's less of a big whoop. Everyone has CD bays, and the laptops
I have access to that don't have CDs of their own all work great with the
one Addonics PCMCIA/ATAPI bay I own.
Anyone try their RW by the way?
If I want to share stuff with my Thinkpad, I use the network. It speaks
ethernet just fine with a D-link card.
