Paul, It seems pretty good so far. I'm taking it to work tomorrow as I have some 1 gig video files I want to bring home, but I can't fit them to CD to transport them. It auto installs on Windows XP and 2000 and Mac os X and with a disk (single size for easy of carrying with the unit) on other operating systems. The only thing that would be nice is the ability to copy files back to the CF card for use in getting prints made. You can do this if you connect to a PC as the card slots mount as removable drives, but not on the run. I'm happy with it so far. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
