Thanks, is the website trusted to order?
So do you need any software to make them work on any other computers?

Thanks

For me, buying a pen drive was the best purchase this year.

If I remember right they will work on xp/w2k with no drivers needed. W98 needs drivers and W95/NT does not support USB,
