Good Evening from snowy and cold Illinois- please be very careful with flash drives- as a supervisor of a computer dept- I have seen many a customer lose their flash drives or break them or not remove them after using them- its always a good idea to have a portable HD to back up your files- and of course old fashion paper.

In fact if I were a manufacturer of hard drives I would be getting into the solid-state technology as fast as I could, and I think many are doing just that. I started with the Commodore C64 and then the Amiga: what you could do with a whole megabyte of RAM if the operating system was lean and mean! So I've seen things change a lot.
