CHAPTER 6: Traveling with Your Notebook
58
Files
■
Copy your working files from your desktop
computer to your notebook before you
travel.
■
If you need to access your desktop
computer files from your notebook while
traveling, set up your desktop computer for
remote access. Contact your network
administrator for more information about
remote access.
■
Take an external optical drive and extra
recordable media for transferring files
between computers and backing up files.
Security
■
Get a locking cable for your notebook so
you can attach a cable lock and leave your
notebook in your hotel room while you are
away.
■
Always keep your notebook with you while
waiting in airports, train stations, or bus
terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook
as soon as it passes through the X-ray
machine in security checkpoints.
■
Write down your notebook model number
and serial number (located on the bottom
of your notebook) in case of theft or loss,
and keep the information in a safe place.
Also, tape your business card or an address
label to your notebook and accessories.
■
Whoever sits next to you or behind you can
see your notebook display. Avoid working
with confidential files until you can be sure
of privacy.
