I am trying to transfer info from one computer to another. Is that what a thumb/flash/pen drive allows?

Yes, those items are useful for doing the task you are performing (and they are all the same thing, simply named differently).  The price will vary depending on location (I would check websites of nearby computer stores to check for sales, since those items are often on sale).  The size is dependant upon what you are transfering.  If you want to transfer a large amount of data, or large items (such as movies or songs), then you might want to get a 1 GB or larger drive.  If you are only transferring some documents, a smaller one will suffice.

If you are using Windows XP, you will be able to use that Flash Drive on the computer without installing any extra software.  The nice thing about Windows is that is does it by itself.  All it will need to do is install that software it has built in when you put the flash drive in the first time, and you're set to go.  One more thing you should always remember is to go down to the taskbar and find the green symbol, right click it and choose Safely Remove Hardware.  If you do not, you run a big risk of losing all of the information on your Flash Drive.

It's not possible unless both computers are networked.\n\nBetter copy it on a floppy or CD. Else upload it to the internet from the source PC and download it into your PC.

Some people.  Yes you can connect them via Firewire.  Put the files you want to transfer in a shared folder, or share the folder they are currently in.  It should be as simple as plug and play, both Mac and PCs running Windows XP support transfers of files via Firewire.  Note, you can't do this with USB 2.0 unless you have a network enabled USB 2.0 connection, it's a special USB cable you have to buy, basically it has networking brains in it.  Firewire has this ability built in.

You generally can't copy and install programs from one computer to another.  You will need to have the original install file or disc to do that.\n\nAs for any other file such as documents and pictures, simply save them to a disc or flash drive.  You can even use a crossover cable to transfer data between computers.

First of al U need to check which OS U r using.....\nIf it;s XP then U need no drivers for using the drive:but if it;'s 98 then u need to instal the driver software first.\nNow u can plug in the drive, into the USB slot of U;r PC.\nnow in the system tray it will show the device if U;r PC has detected it.\nnow when U open My Computer, U'll see the icon;double click on it and transfer files into it.\nU cannot transfer program from one PC to another unless U have the setup file for tht program(ie an exe file).\nIf U have the setup file then transfer tht to U'r USB drive as said earlier; then U can plugin to the new PC and install tht program in it.\nTht's it.

At that Time DOS never even heard of a USB device so it is very unlikey your pendrive will not work because DOS itself can't see USB ports also DOS is restricted to the FAT-16 format. so IF ya pen drive is NTFS it wont recognise that either. I'm afraid your at a lost cause!. sorry

you can use a diskspacer that doubles the capacity of your flash drive (it compresses existing files and increases logical capacity) but reduces access speed drastically. i wouldn't recommend it since flash drives are meant for fast file transfers via USB.

You should be able to go to "Favorites", "Organize Favorites", and then drag what you want onto your USB drive.  Alternately, you can use portable Firefox, which will let you take all your bookmarks with you to any computer.  It can be downloaded here: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

use a firewire to move them quikly or if you want to do it for a little cheaper you can move the hard drive to the other computer and make it better unless you want both, then use a flash drive to move it in between computers, will take a while, but it is simple to drap the music files from the computer to the flash drive, then the flash drive to the other computer
