I'm going to be in South Africa for 9 weeks next spring, partly travel, partly business, all pleasure. :)
I'll have my netbook with me (with 160 gb drive), but I want to have a couple of backups of my photos. When possible, I can upload the keepers to my Smugmug account, but I understand connections can be slow, and there are often capacity limits so this wouldn't be the ideal way to upload all files. I'd like to have CDs or DVDs of the entire batch of files in case the computer dies or is stolen.
Are there easy to find places to burn data to discs in Jo'burg or Cape Town? I figure I can copy them to flash drives and then burn to disc someplace if its possible.
I could buy an external CD burner to use with the netbook, but that's just one more thing to carry along and break or lose . . .
Any other suggestions?
