    man, I'm hooked on these things..I got 2 64mb's and am going to get a 256MB USB2.0 Pendrive for 60 bucks. Man, these finally gave me a reason for getting rid of my floppy, which I kept for the sole fact that I needed it to boot to dos..not any more...

    so you boot from USB memory drive ?

    i presume, you copy over the contents of a bootdisk to the usb memdrive
    and boot from that?

    hold that for a second vert, I believe circuit city has a sale or rebate on 80GB usb2 drives from WD (ends up @ 100 bucks).... Unless you want it to be super compact, that is also a very nice alternative...

    hehe good enough, yeah I want one, but I have too much storage to begin with, and I'll be living on campus, so I'll have access to my stuff anywhere I'll be for the next 9 torturous months anyways.
