What about this?

Mine gets that look too. Hopefully now he has my Ds he will be joining in the photo taking fun.

I still love my Ds, even though I've given it to the BP now. I miss it. A pity they couldn't squeeze all the good things about the K20D into a Ds sized package.
I found the fact that it uses AA batteries to be a plus point to be honest - you can always buy AA's wherever you are in an emergency. It's not always possible to recharge the batteries when you need them. (Thinking of my tent in the Serengeti again, dreaming of it it actually.)

Er, it's called Adobe DNG converter. Converts PEFs (amongst others) to DNGs. Makes them smaller for storing too I believe, unlike DNG's from the camera.

Well it's not me!

Mine doesn't have a screen - it is purely a storage device. We too were looking for something not too pricey (which cut out the Epsons) that was easy to carry to put photos on when we went to Tanzania, and opted for the most basic model we could find. It works purely as a hard drive so doesn't need software for handling different file types. Downside of that is of course that you can't check if the photos have been transferred properly. Up side is that the battery lasts a lot longer on a charge as we are not looking at the photos! A not unimportant feature when staying in a tent in the middle of the Serengeti, with no electricity.
We would probably go for the VP550 or similar now if we were to replace the one we have.
Have you thought about one of the mini laptops like the Asus EEE of the small Acer?

I have a much cheaper, more basic Vosonic device which I am very happy with.
You should be aware that the VP5500 doesn't support K20DRAW, only K10D and earlier. There is a firmware upgrade available from the Vosonic site which may include K20D RAW.
Vosonic have a good reputation with regard to image tanks and reliability.

Are you intending on getting it as a second backup device - since you were also asking about laptops in another thread?

My brother and sister-in-law have personalised plates. His has his initials, hers has her nickname.
My very first car, a clapped out 1964 mk1 Cortina had a personal plate to me on it by coincidence, but it never occurred to me to try and move it onto the next car.
My old boss had a very valuable number plate, 1 xyz (where xyz represent the letters), which he transferred from car to car, even from a write off which wasn't allowed really. He has since given up driving, but his son has it now - so not so daft of you Mike!
Now we are in the Netherlands such things are of the past. You get the number you are given and like it. When the car goes so does the number.
Of course in the US things are so much more fun. I love reading the number plates there. A friend has Big Al and Alz van, but I have seen some great plates there.

I'm not that good looking either. My nose isn't that big though.
Another good photo .
