dongle v zip

[breezer]

i have dongles or memory sticks (not sure what you call them) I also have zip discs.

I know the dongles are better and more capacity, but i have yet to fill my dongle with stuff.

more info

with a zip disc, it seems to store information as to what was on it, so i would send it an updated version of a file and it would say disc is full, even though i had deleted previous file, (so in effect nothing on the disc) i found a way round this by formating the zip disc.

question

do dongles do this too?

(as i said not yet filled one up so i dont know.)

zip discs are 100mb

dongle 256mb

I can't remember having that problem with a zip disk, but I haven't used one for ages. The dongles should work as a hard drive, so you shouldn't experience the problem. 256 is considered quite small by todays standards, but if it's all need, then cool.

thanks.

and to me 256 is massive

BTW they are often called pen drives.
