This I like.Can you also explain the 'stick' bit to me - a USB flash drive/U3 compatible - as I'm a bit new to such things (only just discovered what a Compact Flash Drive for a digital camera is!) Any recommendations on what USB flash drive/U3 to buy? jayno "...myInfoToGo (Portable PIM) You can now take all your important information anywhere you go.

Thos Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 What is U3?I use a USB pen drive on which I have a portable Thunderbird e-mail app. It works too except that I would prefer it to leave messages on the server rather than deleting them after downloading them for reading. But I am still looking at how to manage that.Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try it. I'm practising for when I go on a holiday in April and the portable Thunderbird app should be useful.Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
