It's like another hard drive. But instead of being magnetic disks, it's a flash memory chip.
Or for you computer-illiterate cavemen out there, it's a magical box where the computer fairies keep your porn.
A computer fairy storing porn.
We sell them.
In fact, I sold a few today.
One guy bought one, and went right to the computer lab to use it. Not five minutes later, he was back, asking for an exchange, because his was clearly broken. I went over and checked it out. It couldn't be opened by double-clicking on it, sure, that's weird. But I could see he had stored files on it, and it could be opened by right-clicking and selecting "Explore." That's annoying, and most likely because of the way the computer lab's machine was set up. But the flash drive was clearly working.
(Translation for cavemen: Magical computer fairies GOOD!)
But in a last-ditch effort to prove to me that it was, in fact, broken beyond all repair... this guy tells me that he uses a complicated, highly specialized geology program, which needs to reference his proprietary geology files on the flash drive. And ever since he put those files on the flash drive, it wouldn't open by double-clicking, and now he has to waste like, a whole second, or something, to right-click it instead.
It workie, dude. Thank your fairies.
