I have a 256mb version and I love it. I take it with me to cellege everyday and use it all the time. Makes transfering fies fast and easy.

"I have a small one - 16mb "

Me too. GE, $14 at Target. Best thing for quick backup and update to another computer. Once a month or so I do a cd for the big stuff. I could use my network, but these little sticks are so easy.

Windows XP knows these on sight. Windows 98 had to be taught with a little driver action from cd.

They threw me for a day because there is a little almost unnoticeable switch on the sticks for writeable/non-writeable toggle and I didn't read the instructions of course.
