Hi Ron,
 
A memory stick/flash drive is the way to go.  If your computer is older, just make certain it has a USB port.  But when shopping, be willing to spend a few dollars more to get one that is not only 2.0 but also "hi-speed 2.0" or Ultra II certified (reads faster than regular 2.0).  Do so even if your present computer is still on the 1.1 standard, you can add a 2.0  card easily, but in any event, get the 2.0 speed stick because you will eventually be on that standard -- delta in transfer rate makes it worthwhile.  For a good recent review and some background info, see: http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/20050520/index.html 
 
Prices have been dropping greatly this past year, so a 256MB really is the minimum to consider -- sticks up to 4 GB stick are available and larger are not that expensive (~$100 for a GB, ~$160 for 2GB).  And it's great not just for transferring small files, but moving/synchronizing larger files and apps between computers that are not networked.  While you could get a USB HD for that with a lot more capacity, the convenience of a GB+ of data on your keychain or around your neck like a tiki charm is true geek-dom. 
 
Check out prices at NewEgg [ http://newegg.com/ ] , ZipZoomFly [ http://www.zipzoomfly.com ] or other online retailers.

Subject: [amibroker] OT: Copy Indicator to Floppy

Tonight, for the first time, I  tried to copy one of my AFL indicators to a floppy, and it told me that it can't handle this type of file.  This indicator has only 51 lines of code, and 5 plot lines.
 
Is this because the file was too large?  If the size was the problem, then why didn't it simply tell me that it would require more than one floppy?
 
I suppose it is about time that I start using that new kind of memory that plugs into a USB. (MEMORY STICK?).
 
What are these USB type memory devices called, and what specs should I look for when I buy one.  I am well aware that I am out of the loop regarding computer technology.  
 
I would rather pay an additional $10 to $15 US dollars if that is the difference between a low end unit, and a top of the line one.  Thanks for your thoughts.  Ron D
