Before I begin I would like to say that I am not a computer person in any way so here goes. My a:drive is very dodgy on my P.C. so I was looking at those pen drive thingies instead. However they all seem to be USB2 My computer is quite old, a pentium II no less, so I am assuming USB2 stuff would not work on it, am I correct? I do have USB stuff conected to my computer, such as my printer - Epson c42ux and my digital camera - Olympus c220. However both are quite old also and i am assuming are USB(1). In short can I get one of the pen thingies or is my PC incompatible.
cheers.

USB2 will be compatable with a std usb port although you wont get the higher data speed as you would have got by using an usb2 port so if speed not a major issue then no probs using it.
Although you could pick up a pci usb2 card quite cheap and give yourself some usb2 ports.
