or it may be one of those painfully slow pen drives. Some of them are USB 2.0, but their write speeds are about 2MBps max. My friend has a new 2GB transcend that does the same. One didn't feel the pinch when they were in capacities of 256MB and around that, but when it comes to large amounts of data, the time lost can be felt...
