Sure, They are awesome. A 1 gig drive ( less than $20 at Target)  
holds a huge amount of data. Another trick is to get a free gmail  
account and mail yourself your important files. They have 2 + gig  
capacity and you can just leave the files up there until you need them.

External drives that hold 100 + gigs of data are available for less  
that $120.
