OK, I'm posting this to the list because several people have wondered about
it. I bought my 1MB SRAM for $35 off my friend, used. He bought it for $50
new from Surplus Technlogies.

I'm very happy... to do transfers:

Install New App on OGO:

1) Stick card in my laptop
2) Fire up OmniGo install manager
3) Install *.GPK file to the PC Card (built-in support)

Print:

1) Copy notepad entries to clipboard on OGO
2) Paste in Nathan's excellent Draw program
3) Save to SRAM
4) Stick card in laptop
5) Run Ensemble on laptop, then launch draw
6) Pull up entry(s) and print, maybe even export from GeoWrite

Backup:

1) Just use the "transfer" app
2) Copy contents of SRAM card to hard drive on laptop

It's the only way to go, if you ask me!
