That's what's great about a digital camera, no real downside to shooting lots of pictures (other than a place to store them afterwards, and having to process them). On family vacation's I take along the Powerbook and process the days shots after the kids and wife go to bed. Didn't think that would be easy this time without a electrical socket ( I thought of using an inverter, but it just didn't seem feasible for every night). The little battery powered portable hard drive worked great, except that it appears I didn't copy one of the CF cards, and now have a gap on Tuesday morning, so I don't think I have much of Mosquito Pass. Wish I had started double copying the cards sooner
