Not mention in the article was the birth of the thumb drive or “USB stick”. For me at the time that felt like a huge step up from the floppy disk, heaps more memory space, faster transfers and a device that was so easy to plug in at a size that could be added to a keyring.
Anyone have stories of their first USB stick?
I remember saying "as soon as I can get 1GB for under $100, I'll switch from optical media..", and then the day that finally happened. That seemed like a bargain at the time.
