I bought a pen drive (32 MB) for the same purpose and found it to be
frustrating because it would not automatically be recognized by the
computers at school (Win 98 SE). You had to install drivers on them, not the
mac? I finally started putting my files on my iDisk and sucking them down
from there. Besides that - they sure are hard to keep track of.
