Flash Drive

You guys ever used one? I just got one and this thing is a life saver! I'm not techno follower so I just heard about this thing. Prob been out a long time.

Here's how it helped me;

Old crappitty computer wont work well, limps along.

Need to get files off it onto new, fast, sleek, good looking crappy DOS machine.

Solution;

Buy a Flash drive- plug into USB port of old comp & copy files to it. Remove and plug into new comp USB port & copy files to harddrive.
Done!
No laplink. Nothing. Couple of minutes and files saved.
This thing is amazing.
Me so happy

Definently agree!!!

Thumb drives are the best thing since penut butter. Especially now since you can pick them up at a decent price, (256mb for around $40). Just plug into the USB drive and ME, XP, or 2000 treats it just like another hard drive. If using 98 you might need to down load a driver from the web. Great for moving files but not as permanent as CD-Rs for backups. But you cant beat the convience.

If you haven't seen them, they are about the same size of a disposable lighter. All the I.T. geeks at work have them, usually with 1gig.

I have a 512 here. These things are great, I use it all the time for driver downloads, data transfer, etc. Beats burning a cd...
