Pam,
Perhaps someone who is more familiar and knowledgeable with the various
makes and models of these drives can help you much better than I can. Some
drives are probably made by Sandisk where others are not. I suppose if you
get a drive which has a CD with it, take it back (grin smile)! Mine had
software on it but no CD with it. Just a thought for what it is worth!

Blister pack is a good name for it. By the time I get them opened I
probably have blisters and cuts alike. Anyway at the risk of getting off
topic, yeah I'd say stick with sandisk for now. But there was one sandisk
mini cruiser that didn't work, wasn't there? A titanium or something like that?
