Well I just got my new flash drive, I’m not a heavy user of them but thought it was time to update from my Kingston DataTraveler II 256mb’s, and looking at the modern stuff I was only going for maybe a 1 – 2 gigs with u3.
So after looking around the online shops for a bit I found a SanDisk Cruzer Micro, well after my short wait it came in the post I didn’t really have much time to check it out but plugged it in and I got this little icon showing in the system tray clicked it and wow I have another start bar, with Skype and Avast antivirus software. I downloaded a couple more programs for my u3 flash drive and you can get loads of things to make you feel at home, on my drive I now have WinRAR, Firefox, Thunderbird and Trillian.
There is a small downfall to these u3 drives which are things like places such as your local school or college will have a high probability of not allowing you to run things like this for security reason which is kind of disappointing because it means you have to go back to using internet explorer, not your portable version of Firefox.
Overall if you don’t have U3 on your current flash drive get it, its simply amazing at how good it is. My favorite part of this is you can synchronies your computer to other peoples so you can put your bookmarks on a computer where you plug your flash drive in or you can change the background to your own, so go buy one its great now I have one I don’t think I could go back to my old non u3 drive.
