In the times of cloud storage, email and file hosting sites, who would want these? And if u want to give something to ur friends/coworkers, u have dvds and cds.

But I think they are on to the right idea, flash drives as they are now are not a floppy replacement. They make great personal storage, but at current prices you aren't likely to copy something on to five flash drives and give them out to your friends/coworkers like you could with floppies. 8MB or 16MB gum stick USB sticks produced very cheaply sound like a better solution.

There is no way this thing would plug into the ports inside my IO port door. Good idea but too bulky.
