16gig flash drives. Huh.

I'm not surprised. Saw it today at Staples, $100. I knew 8 gig were out, so it was only a matter of time, a VERY short period of time, before they had 16.

I'm perfectly happy with a 1 gig that rides in my pocket, quite useful at work. There are times that I could have used a larger one, but that was usually when I was copying big directories between school and home computers. I just find it kind of amusing that we now have pocket flash drives that have three times the capacity of a DVD disc.

I wonder where it will end, considering that you can fit any microcomputer operating system that I know of on one of 'em...

I'm thinking that as sizes increase, we'll see a lot more suites like Portable Apps, or a disk image that makes for, like, ParanoidLinux-on-a-stick, so that everyone can have their preferred environment for their browsing, no matter where they are. The thing is, we're still not to the point where we go booting from our memory sticks.
