hi man
thanks for asking.

HELL yeah i do. who doesn't these days!????? blink.gif blink.gif blink.gif i have 2 of them. one is 128mb stick by kinston and teh other a dell one only 64mb - got for free though. they both very good and cheap.

advice: u knwo these ones we talk about are all FLASH drives, that are a soft mempry chip different from a Hard drive (HD), these flash ones can get really really really expenisve as u get biger, liek a 4Gb one can cost u around $400-$500. But they are very fast and are nto like HD where u have phiscal wrting in the stick. a HD mini drive a kangeroo one is about 4Gb and is only $200 i want one of those for masive file transer, note though, its a mini HD so if u drop on the floor bye bye to all ur data for ever, unlike flash... like i said its not phisycal storage so its in chip and drop no matter, but if u have a power surge in ur home like thinderstorm with the key in the usb there is change ur usb get electricutied and geuss wat? bye bye to all ur data, btu if u had a HD one in when THE electic stormed happend it my fry it but your data is still al written on teh mini HD so its nice and safe. Those are teh major differences and advantage and disadvatage of a HD anf flash USB drives so buy what ever you want but please, i say buy the mini HD they are not to much bigger and relative speaking better and safer. u know. Kangeroo ones are very good quality and they are realativly expansive but teh best in mini HD. you say... why not just get a small formfacto 20gb hardrive, btu they are pockt rippers so you woundn't want have thouse around i your pocket would you. kangeroo teh bets in quallity;)

tuirst me.

yeah,
tototot, party on deck in barcadi facotry,

yea ive got one too. its a PNY but its only 128mb, but ive had it for a long time. so until i start putting large image files (especially photoshop files) or music on it, i wont have to upgrade for awhile.
these things are soo much more reliable than the old floppy disks. it used to be so bad when you are working on something and all of the sudden the floppy is corrupted and you cant open the stuff you saved. ive tried to take some of my old files off of my floppy disks but i cant becuase many are messed up. i am yet to have any problems whatsoever with my flash drive. its also nice to be able to have all of you files in one place, instead of forgetting which floppy you saved your project on.

and another good thing about them is that the price is pretty cheap also. especially if you find ones with rebates or whatever you can get a really good deal.

I have a Creative Nomad MuVo. It's only 64 MB, but that's almost all I need for now. It can also play mp3 and wma files. Since I can't get on the internet at my house, I use it so that I can use Firefox and some other programs anywhere. It was only $30, but it's still very useful. Much better and reliable than floppies, that's for sure.

Yeah, they're the best way of moving data for me. CDs? Too big, too scratchable. Floppies? Don't even go there. Zip Drives? Easy to damage, declining. Internet? A close second, but not always availible.

I hope to boot Linux off mine soon.

I have an Integral 1GB USB flash drive. I think they are really good, once when I put it in though, it froze my computer. No problems other than that. It's quicker than burning my stuff to a CD anyway tongue.gif
