[…] Get a Memory Stick – these things are cheep as dirt now. Get one, wear it around your neck, put it in your pocket/purse, or just leave it connected to your desktop. Then at the end of the day, copy all the files you worked on to it. […]

The 256 MB stick cost me $25 back when I bought it, and at the time I was thinking I was getting an awesome deal. :P

Yep, you totally have the US flag next to your name. I’m guessing they have some point-to-point VPN setup or something like that.

I heard this is how American geeks on business trips in China bypass the “Great Firewall” – they just VPN to their office in US and use that as their gateway. :P

I still have a 256MB stick which costed 95€ or something :( …
This was in the beginning of 2004 somewhere.

But it was better than the 20Mb diskspace my school offered to the IT students :/

Yeah, it’s amazing how much cheaper these things got recently. Of course there is still plenty of overpriced crap out there too. I bet there are still people buying 1GB sticks for $59 right now. :|

I feel embarrassed that I bought a 1Gb stick for $59 in November 2005 … and thinking I was getting such a deal. And I still haven’t gotten rid of all the 32Mb sticks I have lying around the den. I’ll be giving them to the dog to play with next. :(

Funny thing is that I noticed that I don’t use these as much as before. Nowadays I tend do ssh stuff from one machine to another rather than moving it on a stick. :P

Oooh nice :D

I just bought myself a new 1GB U3 drive, but I might have to get one of those too – you can never have enough storage (or pen stick drive things) :)
