Re: flash drive/memory stick?
Flash drive, memory stick, SD card...micro SD card(also known as a TF card....the TF stands for Trans Flash) they will all do the job Shaz, as long as they have enough capacity.....unless you want to be doing the transfer of information/data in lumps....eg....a 2gb card will transfer 2gb of data at any one time.
I'm sure that if I have got this wrong someone will enlighten me. I think there are also leads that link one computer to another with the aim of transferring data from one machine to another....maybe this was what Entwisi was referring to. I think those who are computer savvy sometimes forget that we don't all have the same level of expertise....and that we sometimes get blinded by the jargon.

Re: flash drive/memory stick?
Yeah but I am a div so just searched the equivalent of what was mentioned from Aldi.
4 will be fine, if its not big enough just copy it in chunks that fit on a 4Gb one
