I've got one....the box that it came in used the term "flash drive." But I keep calling it a "jump drive." The one I'm using cost about $36.00 and holds the equivalent of 80 disks. It's called a "sporty flash drive" and it has a key ring attachment at the top. Here's a website for those who haven't seen one: http://www.usbflashdrive.org/ The advantage is that it keeps me from hauling a ton of disks around with me. I have mine on a key ring that allows me to keep it attached inside my purse (pocket)--not with my keys but on a separate key ring. When I need to download / upload information, I disconnect the key ring from inside my purse and plug the jump drive in to the USB port. I love the portable aspects. ~Shonda Brisco Trinity Valley MS / US Librarian Fort Worth, TX sbrisco021@charter.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Voltmer" <voltmer@NETINS.NET> To: <LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU> Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 3:45 PM Subject: TARGET: tech: what is it called? > I was made aware of something new (to me) this summer, but everyone > seems to call it something different.
