Re: What Storage Media Do You Prefer
One thing everyone forgot-

Digital cameras!

Actually, for a long while I resisted getting a 'jump' drive. I figured I had a 256mb SD card and a ittybitty usb reader for it. Why buy something that was just the card and reader in one piece? Since I carry my laptop, camera and assorted gadgets with me everywhere, I always had the card and reader ready for use. It worked well, I found I liked browsing the images directly rather then using the bundled camera browser.

Eventually I saw a cheap 256 PNY drive at bestbuy, and picked it up with some birthday money. It's small, fast and insanely useful. I can't imagine how I got along with out it.

Now, when every computer has bluetooth we can just all have wireless flashcards embedded in our shoes and always be ready to go. Now theres portable data!
