removable flash drives? They're replacing zip drives and are awsome. They're the size of a pocket knife and can store all kinds of data. I just bought one for $32 that was 128 MB. I first saw these when one of my ex-coworkers (he was in IT dept) had one the other day. He had his resume on it and all kinds of docs. You just carry it with you and plug it into any PC or MAC to retrieve your data. The one I got is below. Check it out... it's pretty cool!

Yep! Exactly! You just hook it to the usb port and POOF! They are so cool. I can't wait to get it. And even with the shipping it was only $39. I saw one at Best Buy for $99 and it was less memory so this is a great deal!

I remember, I always wanted a zip drive, before I got my computer with the CD-R. Now, that I don't need one, they come up with one that's small and affordable.

It sounds like a great thing to have.

Opps... I had to fix the link. I didn't realize at first but that was directly to my order!


Hope, they are a good thing to have because they are so portable. They fit on a key chain or pocket or purse and hold a lot of data. I have a CD-RW too but can't take that with me to employment offices, work or just to a friend's house! And I can't believe how affordable they are. Especially since they are fairly new.

Not to mention that once you buy the zip drive your not finished because the disks are expensive! About $10 each. I have a zip drive but it's disconnected to make room for my cd-rw.

Can you tell I'm excited?
