USB Drive

Submitted by Jonathan on September 28, 2006 - 3:06am

Yeah, since you guys know more about USB drives than just about anyone I know, do you guys know of any good ones that I can get. I'd like to get 2GB and one that's decently fast at running these Portable Apps. Also, my price range would be less than $30 if that's even feasible on the market nowadays. So any good deals? Wink

I only use the computer for storage, music, and drafting, and have a hard time on anything related to software/programming, but I do enjoy it very much. I imagine there are others like me who have trouble with the simplest of things. So to all of you, I want to share this with you. I wanted to have a shortcut on my PStart (usb drive) to the desktop and my documents folders. All one needs to do on the usb drive is right click => new => shortcut, and for the target type: %userprofile%\Desktop and click next (same for My Documents, just make sure you have quotation marks)

As for PStart, it

Which design does everyone here like the most:

  1. Starting us off we have: Plain 1.0 by JayKay: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2087/
  2. Next, we have: dittoditto by dittoditto: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/1996/
  3. Also, my personal favourite: greenery5 by whowrotewhat and snop: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2621
  4. Lastly, we have: Localize (sic) by ad_267: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2063/

So, what do you think? If you can suggest another, please do.
Edit: Found another one: neuphoric by mejobloggs: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2845

life of USB flash drive

Submitted by Koen on September 22, 2006 - 12:05pm

When downloading Firefox I see it has been optimised as to maximise the life of the USB device. Does this mean using Portable Firefox will have as an effect my USB flash drive will have a dramatically lessened lifespan? How long, on average, should it be able to live using it daily for 8 hours continually? Or is that a bad idea?
