USB Flash Drive

My laptop doesn't have a floppy drive. Floppies are dead. They just don't store enough data to be useful. But what should I use for a quick backup? I can burn CDs for bulk backups but it takes time. I want something simpler. So I'm considering whether to buy a USB Flash Drive. USB support is ubiquitous and these drives don't require drivers to be installed. I found this one at CompUSA. 256MB seems like sufficient space for my needs and the drive is only $50 (after two separate rebates). Anyone out there using a USB Flash Drive and care to comment?
