USB Memory Stick

I finally got one of these nifty 256MB USB memory sticks. It’s funny how only 4 years ago people were still using floppies.

This was also a pretty cool test of all the new support for removable devices in linux thanks to HAL. I plug in the USB memory stick and instantly get a MighyDrive icon in “Computer”, double-click on it and it mounts to /media/MightyDrive/ and works perfectly, all without root access or any other configuration. About time!
