Lisa, these drives are about the size of a package of chewing gum or smaller. they're used to transport files from one machine to another usually between office and home. Some have a ribbon attached and you can wear them around your neck. they have a cover for the USB port to protect it and keep it clean I suppose. These are quite small drives. Some can be as small as 128MB and they're handy file carriers. I have two that are gifts and I am waiting until I can find a use for them. The braillenote PK can't use them. Isaac
