I'm really not sure whether or not this is a dumb question, but here goes...

I wanna order a 2 gig Sandisk USB Flash Drive, I have a 256MB one which works nicely with Mac OS X and Windows, now if I get the 2 gig drive, would it work ok with an intel mac that i'll get later on? or do I have to wait for San Disk to make one with "universal" software built in? or is USB technology pretty standard whether PPC or intel?

thanks
 
Yes, it will work OK. I bought a standard 512mb flash drive as a small gift for my friend to use with her new 17" Intel iMac and the college machines.

No probs whatsoever.
 
I remember somebody telling me that the Flashdrive uses a FAT system which is recognized by Mac as well. If i'm wrong someone please tell me but i think that's it.
 
thanks, I appreciate all your help, I just ordered my large USB flash drive :D
