Look for something called a digital wallet. Im not sure just how expensive they are, but basicly they are a hard drive with a built in compact flash card slot...that way you can just download your days photos to the "wallet" , up to 20 gigs depending on the model, and get them on your computer later via USB....and now firewire....

The problem with 1 gig microdrives are that they tend to generate a lot of heat which will impair the function of some cameras. Plus they contain moving parts and are quite vunerable to data loss by dropping...etc.
