372404	2005-07-15 04:02:00	I haven't got a USB pen drive anymore (stupid plastic keyring attachemnts ....) and the one I did have was a no-name brand. But I have a couple of SanDisk CF cards for the digicam and have been really happy with them.	Biggles (121)
372405	2005-07-15 05:17:00	Neither really matters, personally I just go for low-cost RunDisk ones and have never had a problem!	Chilling_Silence (9)

There is nothing worse than having the PC case surrounding too close to the port thereby preventing the insertion of the USB pen drive. Some also come with a USB extension cord which is handy for those PC's with only rear access USB ports. Go for the larger size as well, it is much more useful. :)	Jen (38)

I may still get it thou its so portable and I just need a handful of space to print documents certainly not gonna use pix with it thou... Thanks for that, the store provides a extension cord with all pen drives, I have a laptop so I prob leave that cord at home. I went into a store today, am I dumb or what, I must of read a old catalogue and the price had gone up .. May just take my larger digicam to travel now then .. (also). May wifi would be nice when possible flatmates have broadband, I'll just dip in to finance the internet with them .. Thanks :)	Nomad (952)
