In answer to the second part of the question (about high-speed internet)... um... no. The bandwidth to the entire island is less than the typical cable modem user in the US gets.

I don't think you will find what you are looking for on Bonaire, unless someone is willing to let you use their personal pc at home.

Darryl, I'll answer you here instead of the scuba board. I did not think about the FTP option, that would work, but the lack of bandwidth would probably kill you. Understand about the laptop, but most of the thiefs happen at the remote dive sites not from the rooms. Although I have heard of that happening. I've agonized about the resolution question alot (here's a Link), and decided the extra file size is not worth it. Tough problem, have you asked where you are staying? There was a thread many moons ago about the same thing and I don't remember the outcome. Your best bet may be a digital wallet, 3 gigaBytes for $200 from Minds at Work.

Hi Cecil,

Darryl, I mentioned the problem about loading the camera's drivers on the other board because when I initially loaded the Sony's drivers on my home computer, I screwed up all of my USB connections, which still do not work. That's something you do not want to happen on a stranger's computer. It will be very operating system dependant on how well your drivers will work. It seems like Windows 98 and Windows XP, work fairly well. Avoid Windows ME and USB will not work at all on Windows NT or Windows 2000 from my experence.

Well, we've got a SmartMedia reader here, so that shouldn't be an issue.
