Dean-- Walmart does carry a few things like that. It saved my butt when I was working in Prairie du Chein, WI (2 hours from a city of any size) with a mac laptop with out a floppy drive or wireless internet and needed to email a file. Just plug it into an available USB port. The port will be the same type as the one that you plug the keyboard into. You won't even need to plug it into the wall, the drive gets its power from the computer.

If I do purchase a USB drive (again, my inexperience will become evident here), which port do I plug it into on the iMac? Does Walmart really carry that sort of stuff? Thanks.
