Oops, hope I didn’t get him in trouble! Well, it’s actually better, studies have shown the heat from the laptop can reduce sperm counts:

I will definitely start shutting down my computer when I move it around instead of just closing the lid. I don’t put my computer on my lap, but my boyfriend does so I will have to scold him every time he does it now. 🙂

Very, very easy. I’m a bit useless with computers but I had it set up in less than 5 minutes and I use it loads. I tried it out on a trip to London, snapped loads of photos, uploaded to the iPad then sent them home. Worked an absolute treat! Can’t recommend it enough.

Hadn’t heard about the Pogoplug before and just checked it out. Good alternative if you don’t have an old computer lying around. How easy is it to set up and manage?

An awesome piece of kit which ensures my precious photos are backed up at home on my own personal cloud. There’s no operating fees and you can attach as many drives to it as you see fit. If anything happens to my gear at least my memories are safe…

Also I ditched the laptop as a traveling companion and went for an iPad. Sure it’s not as powerful but it’s lighter and fils all the roles I need it to when I’m on the hoof.
