Doesnt Amazon ship to you?I wish they were available here, I'd love to have one.
Err...That would be no!Doesnt Amazon ship to you?
i did a search on ebay and a iodd 2541 would be coming from the U.S. for about $135 AUD.There's always ebay. Yuk. I think I just threw up in my mouth!
Never thought that living in australia means living in the back of beyond....
You know, if you really want an iODD, you can DM me and we can work something out. I could get one and ship it to you.
Have had the same idea but didn't follow it because the costs for buying and shipping are above 156 AUD.I could get one and ship it to you.
The iODD is $49 USD and shipping USPS according to there site to AUS is $15 USD. Thats basically $65 USD or $81 AUS. Of course thats based upon the "value" of the item, which I put as $5Have had the same idea but didn't follow it because the costs for buying and shipping are above 156 AUD.
Sending something from Germany to Australia is not that cheap. So I mustn't have a bad vibe about the fact that I didn't follow my thoughts.
With the greatest respect...and just a suggestion...We're an onsite-only business. When in the field, I carry a 128GB Flash drive that has two main folders in it: CustomerTools and InstallFiles. (These are subsets of what's on my file server back in the office.) I also carry a second 128GB Flash drive -- a duplicate of the first -- so that I can work on two PCs simultaneously.
The InstallFiles folders (31GB) contain the installation files for almost any programs I might want to install in the field, e.g. Multimedia, Graphics, Office Suites, System-type pgms (e.g. Adobe Acrobate, Java, Flash, .Net, etc.), browsers, etc. For those programs that need a license code, I'll get that from the customer, but at least I have the offline installation files.
The CustomerTools folders (60GB) contain programs used to diag/scan/repair a customer PC, e.g. h/w diags, Fabs, Aida, SDI Origins, various NIR programs, Malware removal, Password/ProductKey extractors, etc.
As mentioned above, the master copy is kept on my office file server. Periodically, the master is updated using both automated (Ketarin) and manual means. Then I use BeyondCompare to clone the folders on the server to the USB drives.
Attached are the abbreviated folder layouts of each.
Not meant to be the answer for everybody, but it's the strategy we've been using for the last 14 years. Hope it helps somebody as a starting point for their own use.
... Why don't you put all those tools into the "Custom Tools" folder of WRT so that you just need to open WRT and everything will be available to you? ...
