    Okay I got my flash drive today and I was wondering how ppl felt about it. I've had it for less than a day and already I've started fiddling around with it. I installed some software so that it automatically starts once plugged in like a calendar, firefox, and password manager. I use to used my hd player for documents, but that broke down and the first two years of my college work got erased(no backup!!!) so now I have decided to have my music and documents in separate forms.

    Love the drive or hate the drive? and please write why so that what happened to me with my hd won't happen to others with the flash drive.:D

    They are the best inventions ever. i carry two usb with me. one 1 GB and the other 512 Mb. i know its small but its very useful. i watch tvb series on my usb in school and stuff. its awsome. i also install softwars on to my usb so that it will work on any computer. such as MPC player.

    Seriously, kind of a dumb poll. I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't like a flash drive.
    The only "problem" is user error related.

    I'm kind of neutral they can be handy but sometimes they can screw up on you, i guess i don't have much luck with USB drives huh?

    I've gone though 2 already one 256mb and one 512mb, kind of gave up on them.

    Now i use my PSP, its bigger then a USB drive but i carry my PSP around for listening to music around uni so might as well use it to transfer files etc.

    I got two 4gb memory stick pros for it so not too scared of running out of space.

    Who else uses other gagets besides a USB flash drive? PSP, Ipod etc....

    i don't own one but i'd say it would be really handy when you need to transfer files quickly.

    don't you think 40GB is a bit too much unless your carrying around movies?

    ^ that's what the ipod is for. You know speaking of the subject, one reason why VHS beat betamax was because VHS had support from the porn industry. Random
     
  16. ^ that is true, even my communications prof admitted that LOL
