geekage

My 128MB USB FlashKey arrived today. The 1GB drive would have been nice, but I couldn't afford it. The 128MB was AU$70. My ports are on the back of the PC but Cyclone kindly provided a 1m cord with the unit.

Many thanks to wabbitcalif and ursuscal for being my on-forwarders.

I needed a 98SE driver to make it work on my system, and now it does. I plug it in and TING! instant removable drive appears in MyComputer.

I took the drive up to the Uni and impressed and out-geeked the IT Admins by plugging it into a USB port and getting an instant removable drive while they watched. I don't need to cart floppies around any more.

I know what the ITAdmins want for christmas.

tim tams will be sent RSN. It's cool here now, so AusPost can't melt them due to slowness.

Yay! Don't suppose you could send some meat pies, eh? I *love* Aussie meat pies. I do *not* love Vegemite. England could have avoided the cost of shipping criminals to the States and Australia; they could simply have put them all in Newgate and made them eat Vegemite. Voila! Instant rehabilitation! }:xD

They're fun and useful little devices aren't they? My housemate and I used one to transfer data back and forth until I finally got off my rear to set up a proper network. Made life so easy.
