Noel gave you some fine and good advicce.

I'll only add this:

**"VELCRO" TAPE*

Use a few strips to attacvh the USB hard drive to the back of your laptop screen on the gigs.

Works a treat here.

You can get 3 inch by 1 inch strips of the "velcro" hook and loop fastener tape at the local Radio Shack or at most hardware stores.

I like to put the fuzzy side on the laptop screen back, the harder loops side goes on the hard drive.
