USB Memory stick?
Not sure if this helps any for today, but I carry all my files around on a USB memory stick and use them where ever I go. Ask the IT dept if they have one? You can then sync them back with your office PC. Of course you do need the use of a PC at your new location.
For the future its worth getting a USB with hardware encryption I use this: http://www.memorybits.co.uk/shop/us...courier-aes-usb-flash-drive-total-508839/8493
The encryption bit means that if you left it on a train and the memory stick contained valuable data, say the names and addresses of people claiming child benefit, the details would be protected - please don't pass this peice of information on to the government, they may think that their are security holes in their IT policy!

Not that I think people at really that bothered thought I would update you on how I got everything home.
I had forgotton about a dentist appointment we both had tonight at 7pm, about a mile from the office so early afternoon the plan was that I was going to cycle home as normal and after dentist we would go via the office and I would get laptop etc then.
Then the sh*t hit the fan at work and 6.40 saw me rush to get changed and cycle to the dentist with laptop and paperwork in laptop bag strung accross my back and paperwork stuffed everywhere... Not a good way to cycle, espically as it is uphill all the way
. BF had gone in the huff with me as I was still at work and working late so he would not come and get it (or me) en route.
However he had got out his huff by the time he had left for the dentist and bought my car so bike went in the back of my car (along with laptop etc) so we all got home that way. Had he still been in the huff (and bought his car which my bike will not go in) he would have been given the laptop etc and I would have cycled home. However given I had a filling (which is still sore now) I did not fancy that.

I think your laptop is more likely to suffer a bash if you have a bike crash, than it it to suffer a bash if you have a car crash. Due to the protection of the laptop being in a laptop bag inside a car, as opposed to in a laptop bag hanging off the outside of a bike.Tharg2007 said:
But, all in all, either way it's unlikely
Glad ti worked out marooncat, albeit in a bit of a messy way. Hope the filling is feeling better (last one I had hurt for days...)
