What's the difference between a "memory stick" and a "flash drive?" I need to transfer data from one computer to another and I need ot get one or the other.

Use a flash drive to transfer data. They work on any USB port.
Memory sticks are typically found in camera's. And need more specialized ports to upload images on computer.
Get the flash drive- about $15 for 128mb. Office Max, Best Buy, Newegg...
