Re: [Tip] Make the most of your USB drive
said by Mele20  :That was confusing as I thought you were talking about USB ports at first. I don't have a USB Flash drive and see no reason to have one. Why would I want one? What would I need it for? You wouldn't want one and don't need one. 
I find them extremely useful for transferring pictures from my digital camera to my PC. Plugging the camera into the PC works but I find it awkward and slower than just popping my CF card into the USB2 reader. I also find it extremely useful for transferring files/programs between PC's.

| I have 2 1GB "thumb" drives. I keep a bunch of security apps and pc utilites on one. I use this when I need to fix family pc's.
The other I use to transfer data between pc's at home and work, much faster and easier than always burning a cd then erasing and burning again.

I agree with Howie! I too use a USB CF card reader to transfer my photos.
Just look how quick I was able to grab the progress shot of my 73 Camaro!

Keizer said by Mele20 :Yeah...guess I don't need one.  I don't have a digital camera. I hope you guys know that hes talking about USB thumb drives, has nothing to do with digital cameras, and USB CF card readers/MemoryStick/etc.
said by Mele20 :Yeah...guess I don't need one. I don't have a digital camera. I'm disabled so I don't need to transfer files between home and work. I can transfer files between my two real computers and my virtual and real ones without a USB drive. I can see where though in certain instances they would be very useful. For me though, I can think of many better ways to spend my money. (I need more RAM ....1024 is not enough to run a host box and two virtual PCs at the same time  and that's going to be $150 for two 512 sticks). I find USB Thumb drives to be easier to use than burning CDs, or using floppies. But I think the best way to transfer files, a network of course I lost my 1GB thumbdrive at school, so I find those small things easy to lose. |

| I "lost" mine for a few weeks too... but it turned up, I had just accidentally tossed it in the wrong drawer after work one day. So they are definitely easy to misplace!!!

Trenton, OH | I'm good at forgetting to take things out of my pockets, I have washed both my thumb drive and a compact flash card.
The both still work just fine! |
