RE: Western Jeepz Run in New Mexico!!
Hi-Ya Ritt,
A couple of other (and more generic) methods to accomplish the same objective without an iPod, a variant, and not PC operating system specific:
(1) The removable memory cards of many digital cameras can often be used as portable data storage devices. (A camera memory card typically does not care what you are storing in it -- it is all "ones" and "zeroes.") Load files from PC to camera memory; then later offload digital camera memory to a PC at a different location. (This method assumes computers at both locations can deal with the camera and/or memory card.)
(2) Many ISPs allocate a finite amount of on-line data storage to each subscriber. That on-line storage space is typically advertised as intended for the purpose of allowing a subscriber to set-up a personal web page. You can use that subscriber web space instead as on-line intermediate data storage. That is: upload/ftp data files to your ISP allocated personal web space, say from a home PC. That stored data can later be accessed and downloaded to a different computer; for example, a computer at a school. (A no additional cost, no additional gadget, non OS-specific way to transfer data files between personal computers.)
Not that I -- of all people :wink: -- would ever have anything against Gadgets, but the above two methods might prove useful to those needing to transfer data between/among personal computers by other than real-time connection methods.
Regards,
Gadget
