As for something that plugs into the keyboard, I just received a FujiFilm 128 MB key chain dangle that measures about 3.75 " x 0.5 " x 0.75" and it just slips into my keyboard USB. From there it provides 128 MB of storage just like a miniature drive. Wow, that's really neat for moving files from one computer to another. I remember when Corvis came out with the first (that I remember) 5 MB HD which cost $5000. Just think, I received this 128 MB Fuji thingie for free! tedd -- http://sperling.com
