[Duo2400] Re: Duo for Photo Downloads

[Jim Allen]

    Thanks, everyone for the suggestions so far. When I'm home, my G4 does
the work for me, but on the road is the problem. Right now, I carry about 2
gigs worth of Compact Flash memory, but I know that one day, on some job,
that won't be enough and I'll need to download those cards. My Duo is an old
friend, but I'm also trying not to have to spend the bucks on a new laptop.
     I look forward to hearing about other problems/solutions/updates as
well
