I carried a laptop on my last trip to Guatemala and I'm glad I 
did.  I have a photo backback with a padded slot for a computer so I 
carried it on my back.  I used the laptop every night to burn CDs of 
the photos I took that day.  I also downloaded them into the Epson 
P2000.  It has a fantastic screen and you can enlarge the files to 
100% to check focus, etc.  I guess it's like wearing a belt and 
suspenders, but before I erase and reuse my memory cards, I want to 
have the files copied in at least twice and I store them in different 
places in my luggage.  Before I carried the Nixvue Digital Album and 
the Epson P2000, but the Epson is much better, much faster, and with 
a better battery than the Nixvue.
