Hi,
I am going to purchase a memory stick shortly and came across U3 which basically allows you to move your software, bookmarks, settings etc from one pc to another.
the url is -
http://u3.com/
i was wondering if anyone has use it and what they thought?
thanks
dave.
No, But I think that just might go on my Christmas List
Nope, it looks cool though!
Oh, Dave, you remind me to put a flash stick on my Xmas list, thank you!
I had quite the ordeal with that U3 crap. I got a flash drive from work, and it had that on it, but i didnt know. I moved the U3 files onto my mac desktop because I wasnt sure what they were. I realized that they were windows files and tried deleting them. They wouldt go away. I had to use the terminal to manually delete the files with UNIX commands to get rid of them (which took me a while to remember the command.) I am forever bitter at U3 for wasting 15 minutes of my life.

it does say on their site it only works with windows lol.
Well at the time I didn't know what it was, I just wanted it gone. I copied the files to my desktop in case they were important or something, but then I found out what it was AFTER it was too late.

to be honest it seems cool as it creates your own desktop type thing where ever you go but you need to install software on them which on company networks, school and unis isn't possible.
See, I wouldn't have any use for that because at my college, we use network accounts (all macs) and all of my programs and settings are on the network account, so wherever I log in on campus, it's like logging into my personal computer. I'm sure u3 has it's uses, and is probably a great tool, but I needed to take it off of the drive for work because every time I would plug it into a clients computer it would ask me to install u3.

it seems cool but i think it would be one of those gimmicky things which you would get bored with and eventually not bother using. but i want a 4gb mem stick and the san disk one i want comes with it anyway.
My flash drive has that U3 thing on it. I don't find much use for it, since I don't use those programs. And it worked fine on Linux (Knoppix & Puppy Linux), I was able to transfer files onto it. However, the U3 feature won't work since it was created for Windows.
