USB Thumb Drives and Refurbished Laptops
It used to be that a floppy disk drive (FDD) was used for backup and sometimes transporting files. These days many laptops do not even include a FDD.
The easy to use USB thumb drives are great for backing up your laptop. The latest ones are 8GB and you can expect 16GB by the end of 2006. That is a huge amount of data. Another use is to transport files from one computer to another. There are also USB devices that have built-in security that can protect your laptop.
