If you have to transfer files between your laptop and your home PC it can sometimes be a hassle. One way to do this without using network connections or cables is by using an USB Flash Drive. They come in 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB capacities. In my opinion you should choose at least the 64 MB model.
They are about the size of a cigarette lighter and plug into your USB port. They are recognized as a Plug & Play removable drive by systems using Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP and (Win 98, once drivers are installed). Also Mac OS 8.6 and Linux 2.4.0 .
There are quite a few different manufacturers. Doing an Internet search using 'USB Flash Drive' will bring up many sites. I purchased a Belkin 64 MB model from Radio Shack online and had it in 3 days time. You might check out www.belkin.com or www.futureshop.ca or www.radioshack.ca for more info.
Happy farming and happy computing.
