Do a google on "hard drive" usb, you will find a lot of them out there
Or, if you have a firewire port, google "hard drive" firewire (much faster
than USB).

Suzy Webb made a good suggestion to me just a minute ago...
In my class at Palomar College, good ol' Steve Toothacre came to class with
a pocket size hard drive that he carried around with him to store backups
on... I believe the link below is similar to what he bought at Fry's
Electronics for about 200 bucks. They 'plug and play' right through the USB
port... or with a 'firewire' cable...
http://www.pockeyeurope.com/products/pocketvault.htm
I will definitely purchase one of these for backups and keep it in a
separate place from the laptop as a backup... I think his would fit in a
shirt pocket like my pocket calculator size...
Some folks don't need 30 GB of storage and can get away with the keychain
models like the following one....
http://www.pockeyeurope.com/products/flashdrive.htm
They can store up to 1Gb
Might be a life saver...

Hi Pete
I bought another computer as soon as I got home. I had the other one (Sony)
for only 4 months so there wasn't much work on it yet. Just lucky I guess.
I
have not contacted my home owner's insurance company yet. Hopefully, they
will cover some of the loss. I bought a Fujitsu C series Lifebook. It
should
do the job.
I sure look forward to seeing everyone in March at PCB West. For PCB
designers, It is still the "Greatest Show On Earth". No other conference
has so
much to offer to PCB designers. And, no one else has the "Porch Dawgs".
One of
my friends took a new job with the stipulation that he be allowed to attend
the PCB conference every year. He convinced his new employer that the
investment in education would be returned ten fold to the company.
Good to hear from you. I can't wait for my hug.
Love, Mary
