The question is, how can one live without a single PC (or Mac) ?

  does anyone know a way to get a linux or bsd machine talking to an XL7 via 
  USB? or any other way to backup data to/from the XL7 without using a 
  proprietary operating system?

  i really wish the XL7 had a way to represent itself to a host computer as 
  a generic "box of files", and just have a bunch of "folders" filled with 
  "files" that i could copy back and forth. that would accomplish my backup 
  needs without anything too fancy.

  my digital camera has an option to present itself to the host computer as 
  either a camera or "just" a pile of pictures (like a flash drive), which 
  is perfect.

  thanks...
