USB FlashDrives The New PC?

Posted by Zonk on Sunday October 9, 2005 @08:32AM from the for-limited-amounts-of-functionality dept.

olddotter writes "Yahoo has an article about how large capacity USB drives might be redefining the concept of the personal computer. The article is windows specific, but think knopix on a flash drive." From the article: "When you check into an average hotel room and find -- alongside the alarm clock, hair dryer and DVD player that once were bring-your-own items but now are as standard as the furniture -- a cheap PC for guests to plug into, as our truly personal computing environment travels with us."

Yea, but you still have to bring your own virus and spyware. It will be years til they provide that.

Is the network the flashdrive? by cgrand · 2005-10-09 08:39 · Score: 5, Funny

I'm puzzled: once I was told the network is the computer and now I learn the flashdrive is the computer.
I'm totally at a lost.
