Will an internet cafe allow me to..
Do these places let you plug in a CF card and also a USB stick to transfer data? I have a Compact Flash card for a camera and I would like to be able to take the pictures off the CF card and put them onto my USB memory.
Would I need to take a USB cf card reader, or do they have CF card readers?

Re: Will an internet cafe allow me to..
Thanks for that. We are arriving in Melbourne for our validation trip tomorrow, so if some cafes allow it, I will find them. The CF card reader is small enough to take on chance anyway. I have never actually used an internet cafe so have no idea what they allow, and it was a last minute thought.
The CF card is a 1Gb card but it only takes 80 photos on full res so it is possible we will fill it so the usb memory would be a good back up.
Many thanks again.

Yeah in Melbourne you will be able to find somewhere no prob. many places will also let you download your photo's onto CD for a couple of $$, this is usually a lot cheaper to do in a internet cafe than in a photo store.
Another thought, if you are coming through Hong Kong or no doubt other places in Asia is to get another memory stick there, they are usually quite a bit cheaper.
Have a good validation trip

I'm hopeful to be able to clear that CF card one way or another!
