Once bitten Twice shy

I have been very paranoid ever since I fried a 128CF card after a wedding shoot. Luckily I had backed up most of the pictures on film. Now that I dont use film any more I am more scared until I open the cards and copy them to a hard drive. This scare takes away part of the fun of digital photography. I have been using a PicturePAD for a few months but still there is an element of risk involved during the transfer of the CF to the PicturePAD. I have been waiting for a product that I could write to simultaneously in the field. In the studio I use Remote Capture to simultaneously write on my Sony Vaio laptop and CF. Has anyone used the Fujitsu P-2000 to remote capture in the field? It weighs only about 3 pounds and is about half the size of a standard laptop. I know it is a hassle to be tethered but it is better to be safe than sorry. Please take a look at the P2000 at the Fujitsu site.
I welcome any input.
Thanks.

I don't know why it wouldn't be satisfactory. It has 2 USB and 1 FireWire ports, and the later models come with a 30 or 40GB HD. Its wide-aspect-ration screen is quite high resolution and looks great.

The Kodak DCS-14n is capable of writing to two storage media inside the camera (one CF and one SmartMedia I think...) Worth noting if you might be in the market for that camera anyway.
