Just curious as to how people put USB thumb drives to use these days. I just picked up my first one (second if you count the dead one I bought and returned to Fry's.) Haven't found much use for it yet other than making sure I have a copy of Putty and a Remote Desktop client with me at all times.

What's a thumbdrive? 
Is it somekinda device for your thumb? Mine is kinda lazy... wonder if I need it.

great when you do not own a floppy drive.
Lets say you need to boot to dos and run some firmware update.
Thums drive perfect.
Also to boot to dos for a nice network boot for ghost images.

In other words, you are bored out of your mind at work.
We have a 256MB one at work (IT helpdesk at a little college) that we use to cart around a bunch of Spyware-removal tools, the IE6 setup program, and a couple of other odds and ends. Comes in quite handy
Personally, I don't have one...yet. I tried getting in on that Dell freebie, but it kept telling me that I had an invalid code. Guess I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for a good deal and get one the hard way

On that 'Good Deal' note, Costco has a 256MB SanDisk 'Cruzer Mini' for $39.99 or so. Doubt it's the best price out there, but it sure as heck beat what I paid at Fry's ($59.99 for 128 megs, Sony.)
Anywho, I think I'll load up some roms and an SNES emulator for my shift at work tonight.
