| Ditto for the USB drives.  If you are running Windows ME, 2000, or XP
| just plug the small
| (.5"x1"x2" approx.) device into any USB port and voila you have another
| disk drive that you
| can copy files to and from.  If you are running Windows 98 or 98SE I
| think you need a small
| device driver for the same functionality.  By the way these devices are
| generally know as
| "Thumb drives" since they are approximately that size.  Biggest problem
| may be physically
| misplacing the drive since it it so small.  I bought a couple Sandisk
| 256MB drives for about
| $60 each.
