In other words, I’m not afraid I’ll send spontaneous pulses [...]

Can I say that I take photos as a regular part of my work, and move them off the camera there? In the same action I can sweep out my own pictures and put them on a USB stick, rather than go through the work twice.

Are you saying that to get pictures off your camera, you have to use the work Windows machine to put them onto a USB drive, and then bring that home?

If so why can’t you use the cameras built in USB mass-storage function? USB2 devices will work in USB1 ports, just slowly… You could setup a machine so it automatically mounts and sets up a NFS / Samba share.
