USB Flash Drives for the traveller in India

I have just posted an extensive article on my Blog that outlines the advantages, disadvantages, and uses of a USB Flash Drive. It talks about ways of securing your data, and discusses techniques to stop attack by virus. It also mentions some of the things you can do with a USB Flash Drive. This article should be of most interest to travellers and backpackers, especially in India.

Any comments or extra tips to add to the article are welcome.

I wouldn't plug a flash or hard drive into any Indian computer that I was interested in getting back. Their government ISP is one of the world's biggest distributors of viruses.
