I just picked up a Lexar JumpDrive Secure USB drive (512mb) from office max for $30 bucks.. did i get a good deal? Also, is this a good USB drive???
 
YES!!!!! YES!!!!! YES!!!!
I just bought the same one about 3 months ago on a whim from Target and paid $75. I didnt shop around at all for it. I saw it, I wanted it, I bought it.

I really like it the only problem is that it is slightly too thick. Sometimes it can partially obscure a neighboring USB port and on a computer at work a serial port gets in the way also.

I found two good programs that you can run from the drive. One is portable firefox(for web browsing), and the other is portable thunderbird(for email). Doing a qick google search can bring you to the sites for the programs.

You should be very happy with the drive.

It was $80 dollars - $35 instant rebate - $15 mail in rebate...so dont feel too bad, you just paid retail :)

Thanks for the advice on the programs, ill check into it thanks!
 
You can also run Windows 98 from it, as long as you know how to trim it down to only the necessary features.

Hmm what would be the use of this?
 
I guesss you could boot off of the USB drive if you are having a problem with booting off of your main OS and then try to fix the problem or salvage your data.
 
but 98 cant use NTFS drives so your screwed if you formatted your drives with that file system.

id use it for firefox, thuderbird, and (if it was 1GB) id throw CS(old one) on there too with some bots :p
