Thanks very much Tom - we do have a USB floppy drive. The notebook has wireless built in - it is one of these : http://www.theregister.com/2004/06/02/dialogue_flybook/ I can bring a couple of pen drives as well. Thanks very much. It will be good to catch up with you again. Viv P.S. Shall we bring those TS boxes that I got hold of for you ? You were going to try to get them working on Linux.
