These days, it seems that more and more people are no longer using floppy discs. Nowadays, notebooks or laptops, whichever you prefer, are a lot more popular. Many people are also getting USB pen/thumb drives to carry more data than a floppy at a fraction of the size of a disc, which is now considered a bit bulky.
Since there are a lot more people using these thumb drives, many different kinds of drives are coming out. Many people are actually selling “customized” versions. If you do a bit of searching on the net, you can find many different kinds of USB drives. BoingBoing features a new, unique USB drive every once in a while.
I like the drives that have that “homemade” look. Some of my favorites include the Mince Pie, usbPEZ, and the “REALTHUMBDRIVE.”
Seeing so many “homemade” drives being sold gave me an idea. I’ve got an idea for some profit. Maybe, just maybe, I could make my own homemade drives. I could use USB drives that work with all OSs and need no drivers. Maybe I could use a thin drive, like this one from ThinkGeek, for the “core.” And maybe I could use something like Model Magic to cover the drive! I’m still thinking about it, though.
