OK, a few things to sum up from all your replies.

1) I can drag files from the web page or the desktop to the Flash
Drive (the 'Brute Force' method).

2) If I can do #1 the drives are not Write Protected

3) The one Flash Drive is a Kingston, the other is one I found and it
is called Secure_II
   A) Both have space left
   B) I have another Kingston that is new in the package and another
Flash Drive I got from Centrum (its pretty full so I haven't tried it
on this machine)

4) So, a Flash Drive won't show up when you click "Save image as" on a
website? For the record I am using Firefox but have also tried it with
Safari and iCab (I still have Opera to try but if its like this with 3
other browsers I doubt Opera would be any different)

5) Also, WHY would Apple make this the default setting? Don't they
know people use things other than their HD to save stuff?

Thanks for all your replies thus far! :)
