It’s the 80’s again! :)

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff

Okay now this is just sooo cool! :) There are a number of tech blogs that have shown this… www.engadget.com , www.dvice.com … and still many personal blog raves complete the swirl. Well at least to those who know what lego is, and who doesn’t. I’m a creature from the 80’s and it was lego’s decade I assure you. I drooled over them those years and yes I bawled my eyes out when I didn’t get my lego fix. Now that’s not to say I’d bawl yet again, too old for it this time. But can I just say I just may drool instead?

Personally I own about 4 flash stick drives. I’ve got a 4GB San Disk mini cruiser, a 2GB version, a PNY 2GB and a 1GB knock off. Why I have them, don’t ask! Some of them given, some of them from ebay.com and one of them, hmmm I really don’t know where that knock off came from!

Have I any use for them, well… I did once. But not so much lately after I bought a snazzier 80GB Maxtor external 2.5” hard disk. I once used them for quick need-to-have files, but I think I don’t have any files like that anymore. Ergo my flash drives… a semi-permanent drawer item.

But why am I drooling over the lego 1GB flash drive. The 80’s is “flashing” back and this piece of history is a must-have, even if it’ll just be part of ‘ye old drawer yet again. I just have to have one.

They’re compatible with actual lego bricks, standard lego colors and it’s from the Japanese… it’s from the Japanese… what else!!!

I certainly need a new pen drive – why not one that looks like a bit of lego? Pretty damn cool…
