During graduate school, while my dad was working on his dissertation, he would store his penciled pages in a file box that he lined with asbestos and kept the box in his refrigerator. It was the best thing he could do in case there was a fire and it gave him peace of mind.

Fifty years later, we are still trying to find peace of mind when preserving what we write in a computer. We hear horror stories of computers crashing, hard drives going awry and viruses that prevent us from accessing what we consider a daily part of our lives.

Since owning our first computers we are left to our own devices to figure out how and when we should back-up our computers so that "saving" becomes another part of our daily lives. We started with floppy disks, flimsy as 45 record sleeves followed by a smaller, hard-plastic version that boasted more memory capacity. This was followed by the CD that had even more storage capactiy for our dissertations and novels. But thanks to the ever-growing memory demands of today's software programs, even that 700 Megabyte disk can sometimes be inadequate if not confusing to "burn."

One thing is clear when it comes to backing up our data: the device needs to be easily accessible and almost fool-proof. And for the purpose of this blog entry, a "no-brainer."

Enter the flash drive memory stick. It looks like a stick of gum but thicker and and it sometimes has a cap as if it were a pen. It connects to your computer the same way most things do nowadays, via the USB port. When you insert this stick into the port, your computer quickly identifies it as an external drive and it's just a matter of copying files you want saved and using the paste command to transfer them into this flash drive.

The available flash sticks on the market have an impressive range of memory from as low as 128 megabytes all the way up to 16 gigabytes.

Remarkably, you can't tell their storage capacity at first glance. They all look relatively the same in length and width whether they are less than a gigabyte or multiple gigabytes.

No Brainer Bargains is offering a flash memory stick with 8 gigabytes. We think it will be awhile before this memory device will be left in your basement collecting dust, awhile before your computer tells you the stick isn't large enough in memory to save what you want backed-up and awhile before something the size of your molar goes on the market with the claim that it will save your entire hard-drive in under 4 seconds.

Our memory stick is black and swivels into a silver-metal casing and is attached to a keychain for your convenience.

It is compatible with Windows XP, 2000 Professional or Home Edition, Windows Me, Windows 98, and Mac OS 9 or higher.

It is probably the best and easiest external memory device you can use to save your data and get into the habit of preventing data loss.

It is available at No Brainer Bargains here.
