Tip of The Week
Do you have one of those cute little removable flash media devices? They come in flavors of 16MB, 64MB, 128MB and more. They are a handy alternative to using a floppy disk. But if you have a desktop, you'll need to get behind your desk to stick it into a USB port on the back of your PC. Which can be annoying. My suggestion? Do yourself a favor and buy a USB extension cable. They go for about $5 and they're a life-saver.
