How about one of these lovely things:





Freecom Mobile Drive XXS 320GB USB-2 Portable Hard Drive.  Amazon do them for £53 delivered free.  They have a nice rubber coating, plug into a USB hole with no other power required, and fit into a man's office shirt pocket.  You can get cheaper but larger drives with more space but these are the dog's danglies for convenience.

Would this be any use

If you work on a document stored on the external hard drive it will only change that document on the HD not any other copies on any other PC's  (that only works for shared storage databases where you retrieve a Document from a  central storage facility, amend it and save, thereby updating the database copy) you'll have to copy over the updated versions you save to whichever  PC or HD you will be using to work on it as it is a separate Document on each device where it is stored and needs to be updated in all the places you store it (well them, as they are different Docs) ..


Hope that made sense

My head hurts now

Sounds like a flash drive would help you, i use them to transfer things from one pc to another. They are much cheaper than external hard drives and only about the size of a cigarette lighter

You can get them from most shops, even some supermarkets sell them i think and they simply plug into usb port (no installing!). you drag on what you want to take home, unplug. Plug into home pc, drag off what you want, do your work on it, drag back on, unplug again

I have the USB flashdrive thing, but they won't hold some of the documents....definately going to get the external hard-drive My boss is paying, so that suits me fine!

Oops forgot this bit, flash drives are a lot smaller than external hard drives but if you are only using it for files and spread sheets etc. i doubt you would need more them 4gb, although i would suggest getting 12gb as if you need to transfer anything a little bigger in the future you don't need to buy a new one.

You missed that bit off!! Get the hard drive

That's what I was thinking Jen ...and i can store my pictures on there as well!

Was just about to say that I've just bought a 4GB flash drive from Tesco for ten pounds....but I guess that bit of info's redundant now!

I got this one Daniel, that you recommended and it's great!

It's lovely and light and compact and holds eveything I need...thanks for the advice

Hurrah! 

Oow nice me likey, you think your boss will buy us all one? or just me?
