I hope this subject is okay for the list. When going on a research trip, what are the advantages and disadvantages of taking genealogy on a PDA or a jump drive? I have not used a jump drive (I think thumb and flash drives are the same) before. I would think either would be better than taking several notebooks or lots of papers. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
