Then go to: Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and double-click Disk Utility. In the field on the left select your flash drive, then click on "Erase" and confirm that you want to erase the drive's contents. As a check, then run, also in Disk Utility, "Repair," and you should be told something like "This disk appears to be in good shape," or words to that effect. VoilÔøΩ! Jamie Irons Roger,

If you want a “clean” flash drive, don’t “drag and drop” its contents to the Trash, rather click on it to select it in the finder. Then go to:

Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility

and double-click Disk Utility.

In the field on the left select your flash drive, then click on “Erase” and confirm that you want to erase the drive’s contents.

As a check, then run, also in Disk Utility, “Repair,” and you should be told something like “This disk appears to be in good shape,” or words to that effect.

VoilÔøΩ!

Are there actually people who would rather read a script on a screen than on paper? Most people seem to *hate* reading long documents on screen. A classy but expensive way to do it would be to send out the scripts on a Sony eReader or on the new Amazon Kindle. I don’t get it.

They would get flash drives with some brochures or something included as a freebie with the gear they're reviewing. Then some companies started including the marketing materials on a free ipod mini. Even better right? Then you can upload the data like a flash drive, but then watch the video ads without even a computer handy. Of course the conflict of interest and the subtle pressure that comes from these gifts lead to a minor revolt in the computer press. If hollywood doesn't care about conflicts of interest, you may be in on the money next awards season. :) That happened with software reviewers, too.
