I have a small USB flash/thumb drive on my keychain
that I use for a variety of uses... just in case type things.

Anyway - I have repeatedly had problems
with using any of my USB flash drives
with a variety of photo printing kiosks at the local stores....
the Kodak one, along with the other brand-x types.

It's not just my single keychain flash,
it's any of the different brands laying around the house -
always have a problem reading them in the kiosk.
In fact, I'm sure that at one point,
one of my flash drives was trashed by a kiosk,
and is no longer even recognized by our laptops.

I usually try to print - have problems reading the drive,
come home and re-copy the photo files to an extra SD Card
and go back and use the SD Card, which works just fine.
It's not even a large 2GB+ drive size issue,
some are 2GB drives or 1GB, some are more.

Anyone else had probs with using USB drives & the kiosks ????
