Subject: Re: [DIY] Flash drives
You are a real "Jonnie come lately" When I started in '63 we were using punch tape. Got high speed mag tape in 69 and thought we were really up town. Drum and disk memory, with a separate r/w head for each track. Core memory, discrete component logic, no monitors. no key boards, chain and drum printers, just to name a few, and no high level compilers, progammed everything in machine language and had binary blisters on our fingers. 16 bit serial, 250 khz clock. Oh yes those were the days.

But-flash drives in my experience as EE and CS engineer have been 100% reliable in the last5-6 years that I have used..Ikeep one plugged in (64GB now) and backup emails, docs, sometimes8-10 times a day...cpu's will crash...not if, but when! FD's also great for those digital pic frames..havehad one running now for about 3 years from an FD without an hiccup.
New now are those SD chips in cameras plug into some laptops and other devices..the new one Iam looking for is 512 GB!! 1/2 a terrabyte the size of your thumb!! When I
started this computer gig in 1970 100MB of storage took up the size of a small closetin a 19" x 48" rack and required over 15 amps!!
