Hi guys, I bought a 256 Mb memory stick last night for US$ 70. It just pokes into the usb port. no cables required. I use it take my work home with me, transfer documents seemingly between my work laptop, my partners laptop and my apple Macintosh at home. best invention I've seen for a long time. don't loose them though!

I used to be stuck carrying a Zip disk, and before that reels and cartridges of tape, around in my brief case. Anybody remember the cartrifile? Dick Tracy must be enjoying himself now. I wonder what he's using these days.

The Pen Drive (that's it's trademark name) came with both a little loop built in and a lanyard that is easily attached to the loop. I used to carry it on my keychain but but once the loop broke and I dropped it and drove over it before I noticed it. Fortunately they've gotten pretty cheap. I got my last one at Radio Shack. bill Bernard Lis wrote: Hi Bill (or do you prefer to be called William?), 5. copies it to my pen drive (a 64 meg hard drive that I wear around my neck on the way home) These are great things for taking mod's to the customer, I used to use a zip disk or a laptop. How did you attach the string to the drive? Mine is more like a stick (only 32 MB), I try to carry it in my pocket, but I'm afraid it might get lost when I put my hand in and out of my pocket. If I put it in my briefcase, I always have to spend time fishing for it. A string around the neck sounds like a good idea, but there is nothing to attach it to. do they have carrying cases for these things?
