Firstly when you buy a flash drive you will need one large enough to take
all the information you wish to put on it. I use a 2Gb at the moment, but

I also have the date zipped and protected with a password mailed

The standard deluxe versions are the exact program. You can add any all
data in the standard version, but some views are restricted to the deluxe
version. No data is lost.
Some of the advanced features are also restricted to the deluxe version.
