Ärende: USB flash drives      01/
=================================
After rereading this entire thread I think we have a nomenclature
problem. One calls them "Sandisks" another calls them "Scandisks" and
another "Flash Drives". SanDisk and a variety of other names is a brand
name for a USB "thumb and several other name drives. I have 2-1Gb
thumb drives and a 4 Gb thumb drives.

Flash drives normally refers to Compact Flash Drives, made by a variety
of manufacturers. Delkin, CompUsa (probably made by who knows), Lexar
and many others.

Confuzin' and not so amuzin.

GV> JE>EV>GV>> the 4gb and 8 GB worked well right out of the Box and the
