At 2gb the space saving isn't worth it. The ability to password protect the drive is handy, but I havn't tried hacking it yet.
I buy a new thumb drive everytime a bigger one becomes available for $40. Waiting on 8GB, that will be usefull _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J Messeder Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 12:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Treo] PC USB drive access I removed the U3 system from the 512 using software from the online site. I've left it on the 2G because I haven't decided whether I want it or not. For instance, Thunderbird, Firefox and Roboform are available in U3. Supposedly, it's a better way to run software off the thumbdrive when one is traveling and has to use a public computer that doesn't have the required software on it. On the other hand, some public computer operators don't want the public plugging things into their public computers -- and with a 2G drive, maybe the space savings isn't worth the effort either. I just haven't studied it sufficiently. colin.fletcher wrote: > If you don't want the U3 remove it from the config menu and the sys folder > which shows up as a different drive letter will go away.
