Speaking of using these things as floppy replacements, if your BIOS
supports it, you can even make them bootable!

Most people who have these use them as their floppy since many
new PCs don't come with floppy drives. There are people who use
them to take to presentations rather than burn a CD so PowerPoint
is a driver. PPT files can get seriously large, but a 128 or 256mb
key is probably enough for that. Good luck, Roger
