    If you don't carry a camera then bring a spare laptop ;-)

    | principle's the same. No, don't ask me why this thing has no serial port but
    | does have a parallel port. Ask IBM.)

    I assume because serial mice and printers are rare, parallel printers
    are not. That said, I would not buy a laptop w/o serial, too useful for
    other things.
