Re: [GSAS-board] computer advice

Hi Meredith,

Piece of cake.  Everyone and their Mom should own at least one USB "thumb 
drive", which is basically flash memory with the USB interface built-in. 
Plug it in, copy the files to it.  Bingo!  If you're running Windows 98 or 
newer, it should be automatically detected.  If you have a USB interface, 
it should work.

Can be ridiculously cheap... See for instance:

Everything that's been sent to this list is archived and is on the big 
history disk (see 
http://lists.thekrib.com/gsas-board for the current archive).  If there 
are any other GSAS-related files you haven't sent to the list, feel free 
to send them just for archive purposes!
