I don't worry about the darn batteries I guess...

I use energizer rechargeables.....I just recharge them.....and the cord is always plugged into that port of my computer and hanging out waiting for me to plug in anyway....


BTW..I gave you some points earlier BK....

Good I need all the points I can get Tony.
I also use 15 minute rechargeables and have an inverter in the 4runner.

If you plug your card right into the 'puter, it saves the battery life of your camera. And you do not jack around with the cords.

And WTF is a "regular computer" Wendy??????????????

Poor choice of words.

My desktop as opposed to my laptop.

No way it could be faster......I just don't believe it.......sorry.

It is faster just not dealing with the cord, then it is also faster by not going through the cord. Seconds, but they add up.

When you take 8 hours writing the report every second counts, dont cha know.

[tneumann]

LMAO.....even my first report didn't take that long....

Besides I'm all about multi tasking...in the 10 extra seconds it takes for my pictures to travel up the cord into the computer....I pop another beer.

Sigh...

I plug my camera into a USB port to save wear and tear on the connections in the camera itself, but I need the SD Reader card, not usb, to upload my reprots from my IPAQ, I also need it to upload my "Libraries" from my desktop to my IPAQ SD Card, that take two hours or so, it would be more like 3 or more if I used a USB SD Reader.

My SD card stores well over 1500 pix, and simply by popping it intot the side of the tablet, I eliminate the need for cables, or using up a USB port. I hate cables and cords and if it involves no wires, is easy to use, and won't drain my camera battery - sign me up!!!

It also allows me to downsload music from teh tablet to the SB, plug itno my iPaq and expand my MP3 collection!

BK, I haven't tried the 800 model, but I've had the loan of a Motion 1600 (the big brother there at the Expo) for a month or so, & I'm really enjoying it.

I picked a new refurbished tough book with OP for $500. with a 3 year no question asked warranty. I am very happy with it. Now if you would like a Compaq TC-1100 tablet pc, I can sell you mine.

Which model of toughbook did you get?

New models are better, but used inventory on EBAY would work just fine. Be sure to get the view anywhere screen upgrade. With a wireless keyboard and mouse and a monitor, these tablets will aslo replace your desktop nicely.

I messed with one of those at BestBuy this past weekend.
I really liked the features (esp-the on board camera feature)
but the keyboard is tiny and the price was alittle steep (IMO)
Still thinking that I would like to have one...

I just need to convince my wife
"It is not another toy, its for work"
