Kingston 256MB DataTraveler(TM) Portable USB Storage (KUSB/256)

Summary: Floppies? Who needs 'em!
Review: I received this for Christmas and my first thought was, "What the heck is this?" Upon further inspection, it dawned on me that this was a nifty little device. About the size of a Bic lighter, this little bugger holds 256 mb that you can take from computer to computer. No more floppies, no more burning CDs. I run Windows XP, and after plugging it into the USB port, it installed itself in about 15 seconds. After that, it was only a matter of going to My Computer, opening the drive, and then drag and drop what I wanted to store. I loaded it with pictures for my Mom, took it to her house and transferred them to her drive in just a few minutes. It's a great device if you have more than one computer that you want to move files back and forth between, or if you swap files with others. For just a little bit of money, you have a lot more flexibility than with floppies and it takes less time than burning a CD, especially if you have only a few files you want to move. It's quick, easy, and best of all, affordable.
