I was going to buy one of those but was talked out of it. Nothing wrong with it but someone had a better suggestion which I bought and use on a daily basis. I bought a Smartmedia 128mb and Zio Card Reader which in total just cost me just over $80 dollars.

The beauty about this over the thumb drive is you can always switch between flash smartmedia cards or just use the same one over and over again. Also, it's fast and there are so many more types of readers other than usb which makes accessing it always possible. For I work in an NT environment where USB isn't functional; so I purchased a Floppy Disk Smartmedia reader; it's slow but does the job.
