#2 Tu3031, just carry your porm on a micro jump drive. You can buy a 2 Gig for about $50.

#5 Ah, yes - Sudan, the perfect vacation spot...

Burning sands, miles upon mile of flatland that makes the Mohave look hilly, bleak economy, crushing poverty, Sharia law, no alcohol, and armed guerillas everywhere you look.

I wanna' go there...(not)...

I have a 1GB and it carries all my work files, manuals, keys, etc. and it's only about half full most of the time.

#7 I have the same thing on my 2Gb flashdrive. Source code, manuals, keys, etc... Plus a working IBM Mainframe (system/370 - Hercules emulator), a VAX, PDP 11, and a few other lesser known mini's (as simh emulators).

Planet Dan, you might consider a 20+Gb ipod like device.

#9 LOL Phil no I was just suggesting that you could import porn via a micro drive. I saw one that was built into a pen. Very 007.

#10 pihkalbadger, as far as I can tell, in this crowd some get off as much on big hard drives as penile attachments. ;-) Besides, if the Sudanese are busy making pornographic films, they won't have as much time or energy to kill lesser humans.

#11 Not to mention, tw, that the concept of women enjoying themselves in bed (even though that might be faked) might prove to be a revelation to the Sudanis.
