Hey Re-Na, Why not get a cd writer!! It will proably be cheaper than $50 and one disk holds FAR MORE data than one of these thumb drives. 650mb is larger than 256 or 128. Tell me to shut up if ya like!! Nigel -----Original Message----- From: pchelpers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pchelpers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of G.R. Hanson Sent: 09 June 2004 18:45 To: PCHelpers Subject: [pchelpers] Flash drives / 256 mb or 128 mb I'm looking at some small 'flash' or 'thumb' drives. I found one on sale at Staples that looks good. Sony 256MB Micro Vault portable storage After the mail in rebate, it's $50. Well, I am comparing that to the 128 mb ones. Could someone help me see how much storage that is in terms I understand? I know, a crazy question.... but I was wondering if I should get the cheaper ones or this 256 mb one. Thanks.
