Do you use portable storage

Just checking to see how many people use portable storage? I use my flash drive all the time as I've got Firefox & Thunderbird installed so I can check my mail and use Firefox/access boomarks where ever I am. That's my main software I run on my launchpad apart from IrFanView which is a pretty good image viewer.

Also great for swapping ya porn and music :D. Could live without my flash drive no wI have it.

    I have a small (128MB) usb stick, and that's all. I'll get a much bigger one once this one is done, but not before.
    Oh I also have a microSD card, but that's not so easy to use anywhere.

    I've got a 128mb USB storage thing. Did used to use floppy disks until I wiped alot of stuff off them by accident. (no idea how though)

    I never use USB for storage, only for moving files (duh :p). My friend has a portable storage drive thingy though, which he uses as a back-up. My work hasn't come to the stage that i need to have a back-up, usually have an extra copy somewhere and, for me, the price of one is too high to bother getting one.

    Their getting cheaper, I paid £19.99 for a 1GB one, it's not a top brand though. If your not looking for a top make like SanDisk then you can even get a 2GB for about 30 quid.

    I still remember paying almost a hundred quid for my 1GB lexar sport. But like others, since leaving uni I mostly work on my own PCs so I hardly use the USB pen. At the moment, it contains a 900mb encrypted virtual filesystem and a copy of truecrypt, along with a firefox mozilla et al.
