Thumb Drive

I bought a thumbdrive some weeks ago, (yes, I am behind on the techno geek stuff) and I wonder how I used to live without this thing. I mean when floppy disks were the way to go I had four or five wrapped up in various pockets of my backpack.

Then Zip disks came along and they were good...except they weren't as widespread as floppies so you could store all your data but unless you were sure where you were going had a zip drive you ere stuck.

Then someone said, "Hey, USB ports are on every computer, let's make a memory device that'll hook into one of those!" And they struck on computing gold.

I carry this thing in my pocket, it can keep all my works in progress and I can save anything interesting that I come across on the internet. It's good stuff.

And yes, this was a silly pointless post.
