It is an email client, I first carried on 3.5 floppies,now on a 1 gig thumb driver. I download all my emails to it, then when I am in the bush for a week, I can reply to many emails. Blogging by email is also possible, and because I blog as I go, I stay organized. I would say finding a program called RenameStar has made my photo work 20 time easier. The one gig thumbdrive has to be one of the greatest things that has happened in years. It would be possible not to travel without a laptop and use internet cafes. WSftp fits on a thumbdrive, I use this a lot when only on thumb. CD Roms have been my nightmare, I have lost more photos and data because of these un-safe storage devices. I now just store all on a server, plut the thumbdrive is a backup. I would say after you travel away from your base for over 3 months you become more aware. I just purchased 1000 dollars worth of 12 volt electrical gear so I can return to Africa and work, off the grid, or without electricity.
