Hi Terry,
A thumb drive is, well, about as big as a thumb! Or maybe a
cigarette lighter? They come in many different capacities, but
are always the same size. As for cost, I don't remember. I do
know that they are much cheaper now than they used to be! Amazon
sent me an ad yesterday, telling me about one that's only about
$25! But that's here in the UK.
HTH,
Rachael

Hi Rachael;
How big is a thumb drive and how does it connect to an M-power?
About how much does one cost and what brands work with the
M-power?
Thanks.
Terry Power
Thinking of one if my old cf cards do not work.

Chris,
You might also consider getting a thumb drive. I have the 80GB
hard
drive, which is wonderful for storing large quantities of stuff.
But the
thumb drive is tiny, but not so small that you'd be likely to
havve
trouble with it. Just small enough to fit in your pocket, and can
hold
quite a lot. Mine is a 1GB Sandisk. I am recommending this in
addition
to the larger hard drive, and thinking that it might be a better
choice
than the card. But then, I'm a person who believes in all the
storage
you can possibly get! I have lots of it, in many forms, and use
them
all!

Take care, Chris, in that some have found this drive a little
slow,
though I
personally am happy enough with the speed. Also, although we're
not
sure of
the reason, you can't record directly on to this drive so it's
only
really
good for storage. It's a great little drive. The small USB plug
may be
a
little difficult for you to manage and, without seeing your
dexterity
problems first-hand, I can't say a "Yes" or "No" to that one, but
you'll
probably need to use two hands to do it.

Thanks for the advice. I think that would be easier than those
fiddly
cards. Thanks again.

Dear Chris,
If you are using a Bn M-Power, the exteranal hard-drive
would be
easier. (Quite a few on this List have them.) In fact,
although
the
Western Digital Passport 80-GB USB external hard-drive has a
place to
plug in an adapter, you don't really need it. If you want one
though,
they are not very expensive, about $10, US currecy.
Equally
important, it isn't large or heavy.
I used a free telephone number to order mine. (SInce you arein
the
UK,
I don't kow if this will work!) The number is:
877 934-6972; or 800 832-4778.
You can check cost on www.pricewatch.com.
I don't have the Web address for Western Digital here at my
desk.
However, I'm sure others will provide it.
