I just got a couple last week because SP-2 for WinXP seems to have put my CD-R software out of commission for the moment.

Very handy. I think this may finally put floppy disks out of business.

I've been taking a flash drive to and from work for over a year now. It's one of those things I can't imagine ever having lived without. I have my current working files on my keychain wherever I go. Really comes in handy. The only pain is the USB cable you have to lug around to use it. Once these things go wireless, they will really take off.

However, these things do pose a security risk and I'm sure corporate networks are going to start cracking down on this. It's currently very easy to plug one of these things in any computer and grab a bunch of files without anybody even noticing. I've read about kids going into computer stores and stealing entire programs this way.

I have a Dell Dimension L733r that 4 years old with Windows ME. Do you have any idea how I could use it? I believe it has one USB port for the printer.
