Spent an enjoyable evening tinkering with my tablet computer - an Archos 80 IT, in case you're interested - trying to get it to work with various other bits of kit such as a camera, an MP3 player, various memory sticks and a memory card reader. Most things have to be connected via a powered USB hub, which arrived earlier this week, along with a series of power gadgets (transformers, converters, adapters, etc.) for which we'll also have to find bag room.
[To upload the accompanying photo of some of the kit and caboodle I'm talking about took seven separate gadgets and cables.]
Last time we went travelling, we had none of this, just one camera each, the film - yes, film - to go with them and a few spare batteries. Ah, the low-tech good old days of... ONLY TEN YEARS AGO!
Stroll on.
