That's something I do quite a lot Steve, and will be doing so again on
the 29th of July when I head for Zimbabwe again.

Unfortunately I don't have any clever advice. The only thing that
works for me is a laptop to off-load on. I have to have a laptop in my
work anyway.

I burn cd/dvds as a backup in order to re-use the cards. I also store
them on a stationary computer at work down there, just to clutter
things up properly.
