5. The kind of thumbdrive you don't want to get,
because they load all sorts of crap onto them that is almost impossible to format away...

12. That's 4 Great Bees. Back in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em.
So apparently, this thing cost 20 cents or four bees.

10. Crap I'm old...!
:rofl: I remember getting a SyQuest drive and feeling like I was sitting in front of infinite space...run out of your 40MB, pop another cartridge in!

When I got my first stick drive, the max capacity was half a gig, and they were expensive. I'm going to Futureshop tomorrow to get a 16gb stick for about $35. Time flies. :rofl:
