I have 2 of these and my wife has one. I have a 1gb and a 512mb, and she has a 128mb. We shuttle all sorts of documents around on them. They are very reliable. On my 1gb thumbdrive I carry every Apple Service Manual and a lot of utility software. I just wish they were bootable. It would make my life easier as a tech, but that's why I have my 20gb (old version) iPod with 10.2.6 installed on it. Very good points Bruce. -- Kyle H.
