I like the idea of multiple 512mb cards. My preference is for plesaure
travel without a laptop; light is good, imo. But if I needed to confirm
transfer on the Vosonic or other device, I would carry a PDA, hook it up
to the external drive and browse, perform file management, etc. That
way I also have the PDA for email, schedule, notes, etc.
