I run the video at my Church on Sunday mornings -- words to the songs on different kinds of backgrounds, powerpoint presentation to go along with the Pastor's sermon, announcements, etc. The Church secretary emails me the order of worship with all the words to all the songs on Friday afternoon. On Friday night and Saturday morning, I "create" the worship schedule using a worship presentation software (EasyWorship). After creating the sermon powerpoint and the song schedule, I copy everything to a thumb drive to take to Church on Sunday morning. The files are often quite large -- with video backgrounds behind some of the songs and lots of high quality pictures as "still" backgrounds. I also download lots of jpg's to use as future song backgrounds, and like to have these availabe on the Church's computer as well. Before thumbdrives, I burned a cd every week to take the files to the Church.

I also use the drive to download large files (like Picassa, Google Earth, etc.) from my son's pc (he has dsl at his house; I can't get it at my house) to transfer over to my pc.

There are lots of good uses for thumb drives that don't involve porn. Basically, anything you used to use a 3.5 floppy or a burned cd for is a prime target for thumbdrives.
 
^ He's correct. You can also configure thumb drives to boot as a floppy for computers that support that. You can use it to flash BIOS's or Firmware on PCs/Laptops that don't have floppies. Most new Laptops and PCs don't even have floppies now.

And if you want, you can store p... errrr, pics on it. It's also a great way to store files on it that you want to share or install on multiple PCs. I have 4 that I use. One has a physical lock on it, I use this on PCs that may be infected, AV, anti-spy, etc. One on my keychain for docs from work, home, etc. Another for booting and flashing.
