Yep Good advice, I am buy extra cf cards as we speak. Only the other day did my Nkion start saying that it wouldnt recognise 2 of my cf cards. Luckly I had 2 spare ones but I want at least 10.

I like your point about spreading your CF cards around. Probably even if you are backing them up to an external reader…. Poor David. I'm sure he's caught heck for that. 80Gigs… My first two computers added together didn't have that much hard drive space.

Sorry to hear about the flu.

Planning ahead is essential. I'm just back from KL where I shot Thaipusam and went to a workshop, and got hit by equipment failure on the trip. All the USB ports on my laptop died and I was unable to transfer any files on to it, or to the new external drive I'd bought. Fortunately, the day before I left Taiwan I bought a couple of extra CF cards, so was able to get through the trip ok, but having to trust in only that single copy of the images was a bit nerve wracking. Everything worked out ok in the end though.

Hi Matt hope you get well soon

I was thinking exactly the same thing the other day and Im so glad I've been lugging around the extra batteries I've got, long power cuts here at the kumbh mela dont allow for much time for recharging but Im able to rotate and recarge, so alls good.

Thanks all. Yeah hasn't been real fun. But the doctor gave me some strong med.s and I think they may be working. I am resting this morning but will be leading a Lightroom class this afternoon. Hopefully I'll be up for it.

Best of luck at the doctor Matt – being fun when traveling is never fun, but hopefully will be a great story when it's over!

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “backup body. Take it easy, Mr. B. and hope you're soon fit and well.

Change can hit you under the best of conditions. I know on a couple of trips to China for business I've had to change schedules and modify plans. Can't imagine what you run in to with the conditions you are working under. I either event, flexibility must reign. Go with the flow.
