Lust for Gadgets

I just got a Pockey 10G external hard drive and I find my geek gland is engorged. It’s a little thinner, longer and lighter than a deck of cards (the Pockey, not my gland, children) , plugs into a USB port, and is letting me free up 10G of space on my laptop. In fact, it is now the main repository of my vast MP3 collection. (I have over 7 gigs of the classical repertoire recreated in dog yips.)

On the minus side, the data transfer is noticeably slow, although it plays back MP3s without a hitch. On the plus side, it’s powered through the USB connection and thus I don’t have to stack another piece of furniture in order to make room for one more transformer plug.

It cost $80 through ReturnBuy, which I found via eBay.
