Keith, Come on in the water is fine! I lost my first 128meg USB drive, gave some to my kids, bought more 256 meg drives on sale ($19.95?), and held out until I found a 1 Gig USB2.0 for $59.95. Picked up a 512meg USB2.0 for $34.95 last weekend at Office Depot as I am filling the 1Gig...need to clean it up... The 'thumb drives' make the old magnetic media obsolete. Since I got the 1 Gig drive, I rarely burn a CD anymore. Taking stuff home to work on is a snap. Regards, Bob S.
