the U3 controller is a cute concept, you can resize the partitions making the "devices" if you have access to the API but they are keeping that a secret. however the U3 software is lame. Lexar is not much better. (both are Israeli develpments, btw.) If the autoplay bothers you then do like me, just turn off the autoplay feature for all plugable devices (google for the right registry key) half a year ago I upgraded from a 4G Lexar to a 16G contour because they were the fastest around at the time I bought them, I also own two older 4G cruzer micros, which I now use for MP3 in my car, it has no problem ignoring the "cd" device and playing my podcasts and music just fine. also I have never encountered any GNU, Mac or Win machine that hated any of my DoKs. don't own an 8GB though, but 16GB is a-OK. -- For a freaky time call Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
