Comments: Dave D. - 2005-01-08 10:28:46 I'm not sure if it's the same as a "jump" drive, but I have a 1 GB flash drive in my change pocket right now. I probably have hundreds of documents and photos on it, and it's barely made a dent in the memory. Mine was around 80$, but the price might be reflective of faster upload/download capability. They're especially useful with laptops. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-01-08 12:23:59 Dave D., that sounds like the same type of item if not the same item--1 GB, wow! The Time article also said it was useful with laptops--take piles of useful stuff everywhere. * * * * * * * * * * * * Vince Prygoski - 2005-01-10 14:48:35 I just heard of these as well. My spouse is starting medical school and got one of these to download class notes onto her laptop. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-01-19 19:33:38 Seems very handy. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-01-19 19:38:08 sounds handy. * * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: your name: your email: your url: back to the entry - Diaryland
