Well, here in South Africa, the one large franchise, Pick 'n Pay, offers
online grocery shopping, in certain areas, but they also have categories for
small electronics, some computer accessories - limited but anyway - some
liquor etc. etc.
The only thing you can't really get from their online shop is clothing.
The drive itsself is a memorex 8Gb flash drive which comes along with a
small belt pouch, and is around 4cm by 4cm by 2cm, and the actual usb
connector flips out from the one side, and it also came with a small
extension cable just in case.
They sell it for around ZAR350, which would translate to around just over
$30.
Stay well

I'd love to know more about where you do your grocery shopping. That flash
drive sounds great!

Yes, generally when you plug it into a USB port, you'll shortly hear a
recognition sound, and then it might try to do a form of autoplay scan,
but you can just hit the escape key.
Then, apart from saving files using the drive letter in the file name, if
you hit windows key + E to bring up windows explorer, it should start on
my computer and if you arrow down, it'll go down the tree structure over
your drives, and that should include the flash drive, and once on it, hit
the tab key, and you'll be in a file listing.
Also, if you initialoly arrow up, you should be on my documents where you
most likely save your documents.
Along the lines of this, I recently got hold of an 8Gb flash drive for a
rather cheap price from the grocery store which I do my online shopping
through, and will just say I'm very impressed!

Subject: [Blind-Computing] how do you use a usb flash drive
Hi list,
I have a USB flash drive. I was told that apart from holding more
information. They are much more durable than the old floppydisks I have
been using. My question is. Are they more or less plug and play? For
example, can I just plug it into one of my USB ports on my desktop or
notebook and be ready to go? Or is there anything else I need to do
first? From what I understand, the flash drive should just automatically
show up as a new drive in "my computer". Is that correct? If so, I
assume then. That to save a file from MS word onto the drive. I just
preceed the filename with the required drive letter e.g drive E etc
Followed by the usual ":". Is that correct?
thanks Jason
