My FICO is 786, woohoo!:)

you can find 16gb flash drives all day long on ebay for $25 shipped and there are some good deals to be had elsewhere as well

Correction: Under $15 is a good deal for an 8gb and under $25 is good for a 16gb

No problem. Under $10 is a good deal for an 8gb and under $20 is good for a 16gb

You would put files onto a flash drive just like you would your computer's internal hard drive which is usually labeled C:. When you plug the flash drive in it will show up on your pc and another letter, maybe D, E or F. You just drage and drop or copy and past your files to the corresponding letter. its very easy

ok so how does this work? I was told to get an external hard drive but is this just as good? I want to download music and my pics to my laptop but not use the memory it came with.... To answer this question, this memory from Newegg is not for file storage. If you are going to save music and/or picture files, that would be stored on a hard drive. An external hard drive would be ok, but if you have over 60gig hard drive on your laptop, you should be able to put music and pics on your computer without a problem. External hard drives are so cheap nowadays that you can go and get one of those to if you want. A nice 8 or 16gig usb flash drive would work for you too. Those are small, portable and do not need any power cords, they plug right into your usb port.A flash drive is also nice because you can view your pics and listen to your music on another pc with ease. I hope this answer is helpful
