I don't think U3 has any relevance to this use of a flash-drive, being a
platform for various free and paid softwares. I've bought several
drives with U3 on them and just delete the whole sheebang and use the
drive the way I want to. If PortableApps are your thing, I'd recommend
OpenSource PortableApps anyway. I find U3 pretty junky. Anyway, you
don't need it for Legacy.

It depends mostly on whether you have multimedia that you also want on
the flash drive ( personally I would leave photos etc on the desktop).
If the only use is for Legacy, you probably can't buy a drive that is
too small nowadays. A quick check of one online supplier shows over a
hundred drives over 1 GB and only 10 that are either 256 MB or 512 MB.
Since you can get 2 GB for under $10, 4 GB from $14 to 20, and 8 GB
from $22 to 35, there is really no reason to skimp.
Another question to ask is whether to get a U3 drive or not. Someone
else will have to explain the pros and cons to that decision.

Subject: [LegacyUG] flash drive for Legacy
I just bought a laptop and am considering installing Legacy on a flash
drive to use with the Laptop and then plug in to my desktop computer.
I have 3 separate family files with a total of about 9,000
individuals, any suggestions as to what size flash drive I'd need to
operate Legacy on? Are
I hope this is not "off topic".
