I use mine as a transfer disk. A side benefit is that it always has the
most recent back up sooooo should my laptop get stolen, crash, or my
motorhome catch on fire, I still have all the data. Little would have to
be recreated.

Dear Brian:
I am new to Legacy but recently I attended a local genealogy seminar
and they were talking about the memory sticks which you put into the
USB Port. One girl said that she always had all of her data with her
at all times this way and wore it around her neck--another said that
she kept it on her key chain. So I went out and bought one because
one always thinks about what would happen if one lost all of this
work. I was not able to get it to work and so called tech support.
Tech support asked my why I had pruchased it and I told him the
above. He said that they were not created for that purpose and that
if exposed to certain frequences all of the data would be erased. He
said that an employee put one in a filing cabinet and evidently some
current was running under the cabinet and when he went to use it it
was blank. Has anyone else run into this problem? I was very
disappointed as these sticks seemed like such a good solution.
