<p>The <em>expo laptop</em> is a bulk update laptop configuration. It has everything for editing and testing survey files (survex, aven, cavern), drawings (tunnel, therion), scanned images of sketches and centre-lines, and photographs. The <em>expo laptop</em> in the potato hut is also physically connected to a flatbed scanner but you can use your phone camera instead and email the images to yourself on your laptop. <p>The <a href="/handbook/computing/computer.html"><em>expo laptops</em></a> have the 'bulk update laptop' configuration.

<p>Managing large sets of photographs and scanned images, and managing several folders of these on your laptop and on <var>expofiles</var> on the server is finicky and time-consuming. Many programmers use rsync to help them with this, but if you have never used rsync, now is <em>not</em> the time to learn. Use filezilla on the expo laptop.
