Hi Zoot,
I have a 64MB "Pen Drive" brand that I bought at Radio Shack. It's really good
As a matter of fact, I used it to backup the complete KVCD.Net site (Without mpeg files!) on it

Hay zoot..
yeah, get one. I'm planning on getting one too.
I was thinking about the 128mb, or even 256mb.., but if I'm going to get
one, I may as well make it worth my while, and go for the 512mb one instead,
but the store that has it, BJ's doesn't seem to be in stock of them.
BJ's has them the cheapets!! A 128mb stick goes for $69 bucks, last I saw.
These would prob. work great for when you're juggling PCs and configuration
settings and futzing around with installations of pcs and things. You know
what I mean that's why you (and I) want one of these guys. Kwag
already beat us both to one
Take it easy,

How about one of the SD Memory Card readers? My reader is small, though not quite as small as a pen drive, plus it gives me the option of increased capacity if I buy extra memory cards. 128mb SD Memory Card runs about $50, not sure how much reader costs - mine came with my camera.
I >think< it offers the same utility as the USB Pen drive - I saw a review of several USB Pen drives in the last PC World. One of the drives reviewed used SD Memory Cards for extra capacity. There were differences among the drives, mostly in the area of access speed.
Cheers, --Tony K.

yeah,,
im leaning towards one of these now,,,,
it'd be easier to just swap the sd card from my digital camera for pix or files etc....

they start at around $ 45.00 USD or so...for a 64mb,,,

Hey zooter,
How about this: http://www.nomadworld.com/products/muvo/
I think you can also use it as a data storage, just like a pen drive
So you have a "double feature" device
