The one thing I liked about the flash disk, and CD, was not nessasairy the storage, but the fact that it didnt take so long to copy stuff. Actually, floppies were the number one way me and my cousin kept our computer adware trojans in sync...
I didnt start using alternative storage methods for floppies until two years ago. I purchased a 37MB flash drive from Staples for $7.43, and looking at it now, its a bit depressing, yet, still incredibly useful. Now I have a 2GB CruizerMicro Flash device from Sandisk. It works great.
Now flash drive transfer speed is annoying me.
