   This post may contain a virus,   
      
   I have no way of knowing if it does.   
      
   All Memorex 256MB Flash Drives   
      
   The computer store had none available so I purchased   
      
   PNY Technologies USB 2.0 Flash Drive   
      
   The sales lady said that they were about the same thing.   
      
      
      
   My question is, "Is that true?  Yes, I purchased one because the crippled   
   man that explained the $899.00 Sony wireless High Speed Internet to me had   
   one.  I thought that the item was nice to have because the non-salesman had   
   one where he had placed all his software downloads and virus fixes on it.   
      
      
      
               All I wanted was a clean machine that I could email friend and   
   family with.  Well, that $900 purchase is now up to $1700 in 2 day, and I   
   still don't have the Sony registered.   
      
   Sniff, sniff, first, I turned the Sony on and the registration flashed.  I   
   have noticed that many things will be done, explaining what you have to do   
   when you are totally unable to do.  I couldn't see a registration for the   
   new Sony; I wasn't hooked up to the Internet.  The next screen said to hook   
   up to the Internet.  All I had to do was give 2 magic numbers, of which I   
   did not know.  Therefore I had to call Comcast.  For those that do not know   
   that Comcast is AOL/Time Warner's competition.  I called, and called, and   
   all I got was a busy signal.  So I jumped inside the car and drove to   
   Clarkston.  Yes, it was quicker to speak with a-real-person than wait for a   
   telephone-real-person.   
      
               The Comcast lady knew one of my connecting numbers, but I had to   
   call the Internet experts.  I drove home to call Comcast again.  Finally, I   
   spoke with a real person, and I had to call Linksys, that is what the US   
   Congress Lawmakers have done.  Because of the trade laws, I had to speak   
   with a non-English speaking lady for an hour.  One example would be   
   S-E-R-V-I-C-E-.-C-O-M.   
      
               I'll go right to the point, the sharp edge of it all.  I believe   
   that when the new Sony computer goes thought Linksys Router, it appears as a   
   double-click High Alert Spyware.   
      
   Then the all-ready-installed Windows XP, acrobat reader 7.0 has another High   
   Alert Spyware.  The Sony box had NO Windows XP back-up disk.  I'm now into   
   the big bucks arena.  In order to return my Windows XP back to the way Bill   
   Gates had it (Hopefully a serial numbered Windows XP will identify that), I   
   have to have the computer store check for operator damage.  Meaning what did   
   I do to this machine?   
      
               So if I want a licensed Window XP backup, I have to contact   
   Sony.  They will send me the licensed back up Window XP with the official   
   Bill Gates signature.   
      
               Now I have 2 questions.   
      
   1.      Why didn't Sony place a Window XP back up software disc inside the   
   purchased box when they placed the AOL software disc?   
      
   2.      Are the 2 items All Memorex 256MB Flash Drives and PNY Technologies   
   USB 2.0 Flash Drive the same type of items?   
      
   All Memorex 256MB Flash Drives   
      
   The computer store had none available so I purchased   
      
   PNY Technologies USB 2.0 Flash Drive   
      
   The sales lady said that they were about the same thing.
