[Leica] Moving Lightroom catalog from latptop to desktop

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Yes indeed...I just leave it to its own devices. When I did the 
exports/imports of Karin's and my catalogues (about 1000 images each) 
following our holiday at the end of June, we went out / had lunch.  
Karin's export occurred over a wifi connection, so that took ages.  I 
had the presence of mind to connect my Macbook to a wired Ethernet port, 
which made a huge difference, though still nowhere near as quick as the 
external HDD route.  Now, if I had that new- fangled Thunderbolt it 
would be happy days!  I can dream... :-)
