Dear List, At first I couldn't think what was meant by a thumb drive. Then I realised that here in South-Africa we simply call them memory sticks. I have the same scenario as Andy and also regularly uses my 128 mb thumb drive, or USB memory stick and it's very handy, because it doesn't require any extra cables or software; you just plug it into a USB port on the pc and it's treated as another drive.. Unfortunately you cannot use it with the bn, due to the USB connection. Per chance I also know that you cannot use it directly with the pac mate, although one can if you obtain some kind of adapter, as the USB port on the pac mate is a mini USB.
It's much more generally available here than cf cards and about the third of the price. The one that has the most storage capacity I have heard of, takes 2 giga byte, but they come in sizes as small as 32 mb.
