No difference.

The "L" in AMXS stands for "leadership"

I think I'm going to get one,I just bought another memory card to boost my space and my Oldest told me to use a \"Jump drive\" to take out those programs I need but don't use too much to make more space.
I just was more confused.
I have all this DVD/CD burning stuff and its great but it takes up alot of room so if I could put it on one of these things and just use it when I need it I'd have alot more space for working with all these photos.

Which is then the best one or does it make a difference?

Flash drive, Jump drive, Thumb drive they're all the same.

I just got a 1Gig from Wal-Mart for about $20.00. This one is called \"DiskGo\" and what I liked other than the price is that the connector is protected when not in use ( in your pocket for instance ) and swings out of it's little case when needed. It comes with a lanyard to go around your neck with a quick dissconnect coupler so the lanyard can stay on your neck while you take the device off and plug it in.

Compared to my other file swapping abillities it is WAAAAYYYYY less hassle than burning a CD, you can load it faster than Emailing a file to another puter ( I used to do that a lot ). It's about as fast as a Flash card but my flash card requires both computers to have the card reading software plus I have to carry the little adaptor to plug the card into the puter, so over-all it's a big thumbs up to the little Thumb drives.

I went to Best Buy, since Wally World of everything above 256MB.

4G,3G,2G,1G, this company ,that company, $209.00,$175.00 all the way down to $19.00, so I got the $19.00 to start off. a 1G.PNY attach e .

Mostly just for Data and Pic's ,music no security ,but it'll do for now.
Boomer, I did see a smaller version of the one you got(128.MB) and as soon as they get a Bigger one I'll pick up one of those.

Plus I have another 512MB of chipset coming for the \"Old Girl\". That'll boost me to 1024MB of RAM when I can afford it or it comes down,I'll put in another 2 chipsets to give me 2G. TOTAL DDR.
I'll have to wait and win the lottery to replace it all with 1.G sets because I can go to 4.G.

Thanks for the help Guys as always

Goose
