I’m cheap. I use a 64MB flash drive w/ clear purple plastic because I found it on the ground. I don’t even have enough free space on it to put PortableFirefox. Hey, I just realized there’s a little switch next to a lock icon. I guess that locks up the files somehow?

Hey, if it works... why not use it!

Probably for the write protection, just like the floppies have.

I don’t have a fancy cellphone or PDA either. Got a few USB drives lying around, which are quite handy, our oldest kids are learning to use them too. One of 1GB, one of 512, one of 256. It’s good to have a few of them around when several people in the household are using them

Mines a gig…I got it for $70 years ago, when that was a lot of space. But it has served it’s purpose well, as it is used for school work and I have had years of school work on it and still only managed to fill up a bit of a half of the space.

And now you can get 2GB for around $7. Funny how that works out.

This poll is inadequate… I’ve got a 2gb and a 4gb…

Then go with the larger. Maybe we’ll have to make another poll asking how many Flash drives people actually have?

I got one at a garage sale. It’s 32 MB. I think it holds up to 8 photos!

Sweetness! You’ll never need another storage medium again!

Really? I have to say that I’m quite shocked.

I recently walked by FutureShop when a 4GB USB drive was on sale. Couldn’t resist. No fancy cell phones or PDA here, so it is a godsend for synchronizing all my stuff between the computer at my office and at home
Other than that, I have a 2GB one, and 2×512MB. And a couple of smaller ones that were given out as promotional articles.

Sounds like you’re going to become a resale show for USB drives.
