At last - a review of USB "thumb" drives

Ars Technica: USB 2.0 Hi-Speed drive review - Page 1 - (6/2003)

Reading this review, and thinking about how it's written, it's easy to understand why PC Magazine has a "wasting disease".

Of course, as always, nothing's designed for my needs. I'd like:

1. A place to write my name on the drive case so when people pass it around it gets back to me.
2. When one removes the cap, a way to quickly clip it to the base with a slender line so it doesn't get lost, but doesn't block things. The biggest pain with these devices is losing the cap.

SplashPhoto - Mobile Image Viewer for the Palm OS

SplashPhoto - Mobile Image Viewer for the Palm OS

The desktop client runs on OS X and Windows. I'm going to try this with my CLIE, I wasn't impressed with what came with the TJ-27.

Update: Looks very good. It also looks a heck of a lot like the Tungsten E photo app. I suspect PalmOne licensed a simplified version of SplashPhoto. I'll probably buy this one.

The ghost of Acrobat 4 haunts my toolbars. I hope this document, on how to RESTORE the Acrobat 5 toolbar will give me hints on how to exorcise the A4 version.
