Wow...Vince...that's a great idea!  I have 1 and 2GB USB flash
drives....hmmm 
Speaking of that....I'm not sure just jet of the manufacturer...but a
16GB XD and SD digital media is available soon...You could replace the
boot drive in the machine with that...I would imagine boot times would
be faster!
