Talk Nerdy To Me



A fun parlour game among geeks is to compare the power of current gadgets to the toys of yore.

This thing is a USB drive. It is like a modern-day floppy disk, often called a thumb-drive (for its size), and, less frequently, a portable porn pendant.

This one in particular is $160 which is pretty crazy, but get this: it holds 8 Gigabytes. Yow.

In the tradition of the parlour game, I bought a computer in 1996 that had a cavernous, whatcha-gonna-do-with-all-that-space 6 GB hard-drive.

After reading this post I was checking one of my favorite "deal" sites and found they were advertising a Seagate 8 gig pocket harddrive for $40. Absolutely crazy. Who ever heard of a pocket hard drive a few years ago?

BTW - loved the title :)
