Jump Drive and Away!

The thought occurred to me as I prepared to make my photo calendars in the Photo Cafe that I would have to figure out how to get my photos there. Almost all of our photos are electronic anymore, so I contemplated my options. Then I remembered the little jump drive I found in the laundry. Thank goodness I checked the pockets before those jeans went into the washer! The little gadget belongs to my oldest daughter, and she uses it with ease to transfer school work from home to college and back again. I simply plugged the thing into the front of my computer, dragged my photos to it as if I was putting them into any other folder, and away I went.


I want to buy my own jump drive, so did a bit of research and here's what I found, in case you'd like to get one too. They cost anywhere from a couple dollars to a couple hundred dollars. They are about the size of your thumb, and are sometimes even called thumb drives. Some call them flash drives or USB drives. I found them ranging in storage space from 1GB to 16GB, but reasonably priced (around $30.00) at even the higher number. Check out Amazon for a great variety and you, too, will "Jump Drive and Away."
