It's been a busy, busy couple of weeks, and I've not been posting, but I had to mention my new purchase of an 8GB USB flash drive from AData. Yes, you read that right 8GB!!! Wow, I remember when I thought 512MB attached to my key chain was impressive. This little puppy is 200x speed with a 30mbs read and 20mbs write speed, which means it is perfect for Vista Ready Boost.
I am about to install a new copy of Vista on a new machine shortly, so I thought I'd try booting and installing from my new stick to see how fast it is.
