    I'm using currently the Geek Squad version thumb drive from Best Buy. The U3 technology is simply awesome. I'm very appreciative that I can carry a complete load set for Antivirus, my Firefox browser (with my own bookmarks (note that by using my own browser, I don't leave cookies and crap on someone elses' computer!) and they have a bunch of other software that you can load on it, too.

    Because of my fun experience with the 512mb version, I'm going to upgrade soon to the larger 1gb version. It's just too handy to not have around and I could use the extra space.

    I'm thinking I'm going to load OpenOffice 2.1 on it too, here. It's only 90mb in size total. Heh.
  • Xan, all USB memory sticks add a drive to the My Computer, it's how they work. How else would they work?
    It sounds quite good but I doubt it is that good like all things that sound good.

    Oah god, i hate mine, i have the 512mb version...

    It Autoexec's the drive when you insert it, and it Mounts itself and acts as a CD rom drive... so then you have an extra thing in my computer, and also the drive itself.

    The little menu it has is lame also...
