Hi Carol, this guy was determined to sell me CD's, but I will bear the stick in mind, as you say they don't scratch. Gloria

Hi Paul, whats the difference between GB and MB. Have just been to Currys, they said 'You don't need a memory stick, CD's will do fine', so that is what I have got. Now ALL I have to do is download everything I want, fingers crossed. Gloria

Pensioner / Senior Citizen, don't do that. I am only one day older than yesterday, and yesterday I wasn't one of those. Apologies to those who are. Gloria

Gloria, There is another one on Faringdon Road, Leyland that is good and usually very reasonably priced. The parking is sometimes awkward because of the double yellows. June xx

Good for you Gloria - today is the first day of the rest of your life, as a Pensioner! Have lots of fun with your new toy and enjoy many comfortable years as a Senior Citizen. I will be joining you in just over 16 months. Take care, Liz

June, there is a little shop in Leyland near Tescoes, might try there first. Gloria

Please buy the best one you can afford and makes sure it has loads of memory!! I think 512mb is the biggest you can get, so get one of those if you can!! Amazon sell them too and you can have them delivered the next day!!

Just in case any one else replies to this, and I don't reply, I am off out for a bit to get a memory stick. Gloria

Is it better to put things on a memory stick rather than a CD, AND, how much does a memory stick hold? Gloria

PinkDiana

PinkDiana Report 6 Mar 2006 09:24

June they are fantastic and much less hassle than disc's as you have everything in one place!! But make sure you get one with lots of memory - I have 2 now and one is 112mb and the other is over 500mb!! Defo worth the money!

Diana, I have kept meaning to buy a memory stick, they are supposed to be very good. June xx
