Where did you get the Continental flash card/drive thingy?
I work for Continental, which is the Automotive company, not the airline.
I’ve never seen a Continental branded flash drive before. Cool.

Using Sarah Palin wink picture made me think the drive is so small it is like getting speck in your eye.

I use mine to back up Money files and other documents, and then I keep them in various drawers so that I always have multiple backups. Its a little obsessive to do this on top of regular backups to an external hard drive, but I have a fear of reentering months of info should all be lost.

Hmmmm. Wondering, since we’ve basically replaced removable disk drives with flash drives, CDs, DVDs – is there really much use for flash drives over 2 GB? (Other than in a competitive sense, of course!)

Dan & I actually got a 64MB one from some vendor while we were at Digital Experience. We were like … “who does this size anymore?!”

Hi Julie! Glad you got back safely. I was expecting this post to be a competition for the other USB drives! I visited a vendor a couple of years ago (2007) and as a parting gift I was given a USB drive. IT WAS 128 MEG!!! I didn’t even know they made them that small any more…
