In general I try to make my life as easy & simple as I can (yes, lazy == efficient sometimes). My current process is certainly workable. I actually do use a work laptop (with 2 large monitors), and at home, I have a multiple large monitors on my home PC. I really don’t want to shuffle cables back & forth and my Dell XPS does not have a decent docking station I could use to switch. In any case, I was just testing to see if I was missing some alternative and thought you folks would be the best to ask.
That would indeed be way to simple but the PHI-phobic company (we deal with health data) I work for thought it a good security measure to lock down USB through McAfee on all our laptops. I could possibly turn this “feature” off, but that could cost me my job, so not an option. One alternative that did bring to mind is to zip up the project and DropBox it. That my work quite well. My source has no PHI inherently so I just want to make sure I don’t get any sample data caught up in the zip’ing.
