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 |

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!! |

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

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! |
