just checking and i know this might end up getting me banned but i was wondering if anybody had any ideas about setting up a laptop just for takeing to dc?im thinking along the lines of what firewalls and other preventitive messures that you have used in the past. personally just to be safe im probably just going to disable my wifi and bluetooth before i get to the con.
im thinking partitioning a 100-80 gig hardrive in 10-20 gig sections for trying new os's. or maybe bringing along a backup drive or two. still portable yet higher capacity. as for security over the nework probably a simple firewall or something scince i dont really plan on connecting. but a fast optical drive with good burn speeds will be a must so ill take along an outboard drive if i have to. oh and plenty of media. id say 5-10 dvds and maybe 25 cds.
now i have read almost all of the posts regarding bringing a laptop to the con and i just belive that ill endup useing it for more than i plan on right now. wether recording talks over the tv or hooking up a camera and mic at the talk or just takeing notes in general.
anything i left out that you think might be essential would be great.
anything i could do other than just dissableing the wireless features would be apreaciated

ps if anyone thinks this is in the wrong forum please post or move it. thank you.
