I just came back from Frys with the coolest product It is a 256 MB Portable USB 2.0 Flash Drive amazon.com I paid $59 plus tax at Frys for one similar to that one at Amazon. I was in a hurry and the tax savings not worth the extra time to have it shipped. I've wanted an external drive to do automatic daily backups of my important files and I can write a script to do it with this. I am going on vacation and borrowing a notebook PC so I can do some profit taking should the market have a huge up day or do some dip buying if we get a big correction. Rather than bring along an external CDR/W to transfer files and write to, etc.. I just store my files in this off my main PC and load them into the laptop. My former boss back at HP (now an R&D functional manager at Agilent) used to tell me that he thought the World would evolve memory cheap enough eventually that we'd carry our data (and perhaps programs like Excel, eMail, etc.) with us everywhere and just plug into PCs when we wanted to do something. PCs might become like a power outlet! Anyway, this Flash Drive has a thing so you can wear it around your neck! Another die shrink and we'll be at 1G of memory for $60 with competition. Once these become portable, there will need to be ways to back them up, etc…. but this should lead to a flood of new stuff when you can have that much memory in your pocket or around your neck so cheaply.
