Yowza! OK, you're right, you need the laptop. And a small truck to carry all
your gear!! What did you do before digital??!
What about a PDA and an external HD? My 200GB external HD is only a little
larger than my PDA. I don't know if they can be connected, but it wouldn't
surprise me if it was doable.
On another note, how do you manage all those files? I already cannot keep
track of my own personal pictures...I could not imagine trying to file 2500
images to be individually retrieveable on a moment's notice..
