[skywalker[TSG]]

hmm i thought that the thumbdrive was RAM


this is kinda cool
but its too expensive and slow
USB is only 4mbit/s i think


i think il stick with my CD-r

I like the idea of it being small enough, as to just place on a desk somewhere...

However, I don't like how small it is for the single reason that it could be VERY easily lost...

A 1gb drive the size of a quarter that can be hooked up to a desktop thru a USB port.
