If you take your laptop with you to different places, it goes into a bag. It
shouldn't be too much trouble to also bring along the CDROMS for those programs
that you will use on the trip. However I agree that 40 day refueling would be
nice on any program. Copiers will simply copy the whole CDROM anyway.
