jumpin' jack flash...drive?

Just what is a JumpDrive?

A jumpdrive or flash storage unit is a media device that plugs in to your computer's USB connection. It's kind-of like a portable floppy drive or portable external hard drive. When you connect the drive to you pc's USB connection, it appears as a drive on 'My Computer' and once it does, you can drag and drop files onto the drive just as you would normally copy files to another drive. The thing is, they are very small and powerful drives that are about the size of a lipstick you can easily carry in your briefcase or purse. You can buy them in many different storage capacity sizes and take your files from your work pc to your home pc and vice versa. It's a very handy little device for users who need to transfer data from one pc to another, then back.
