The TechRepublic Field Manual is a kind of clever idea. A standard 1 GB USB key with a bunch of technical guides on it. $89.00 buys you network troubleshooting guides, hardware manuals and hints and tips for emergency repair and recovery work. All of which takes up only 50 MB or so. Interesting concept and pretty useful probably if you’re stuck out in the field without a net connection. No Mrs Miggins, not that kind of field…
