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

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
