I resisted thumbdrives for a long time, but MS sent me one as a "gift" for my Action Pack subscription and I'm finding it more and more essential. I've got a lot of Compact Flash storage and I didn't see how it could be that different.
But it's so nice to be able to tote it to any computer regardless of having a reader and is generally much faster than CF. After we take the Christmas shopping hit I may look for a nice big one (the MS one is nice, but only 128Mb). Jim Davis -----Original Message----- From: Larry C.
