Is there a progra that will take a list of MD5s and allow you to compare that set of files later?

google for md5sum or sha1sum (wikipedia says sha1 is better btw)

Manufacturers are beginning to bring write protected with a switch pen drives back to the market again.
Look for the PQI U339 Pro, it's a 16gb drive with a built in read only protect switch.

Good good. Is there any reason why they took the write protection switches out in the first place?

I've got a 16GB pen drive at the moment, so I don't really want to be buying another just yet, but I'll keep it in mind for next time.
