I recently bought a bubble-pack with 2 x 16G for C$9.99+tax
If it fits on a DVD it will fir on a 8G USB. How much would one of those cost?
For me, the intangible cost of the physical media is an excessive burden. Negative USB stick characteristics include: 1-non-uniform size 2-non-uniform shape 3-no reasonably convenient filing cabinet paradigm for storing them in some kind of order 4-no place to write on them enough about what they contain 5-questionable reliability (how much must one spend to get what was advertised or needed?) 6-easily "misplaced" 7-rewritability impedes the what, if anything, to do with it next decision process (e.g. keep vs. discard; which recycle bin does it belong in vs. paying a recycler to take it vs. landfill fodder) OM surely have foibles, but I'd rather them than USB's. Attempts to sell USB as an alternative to OM are annoying. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
