The USB drive is poised to replace the now aging 'floppy' diskette. This does not mean that USB drives, like floppy drives have the same shape. No, in fact some are very whimsical or even considered 'wacky' (drives with very unusual shapes). Below are some "Wacky drives" that were found on the Internet.<br>

By Thomas Lee Mullins

The USB drive is poised to replace the now aging 'floppy' diskette. This does not mean that USB drives, like floppy drives, have the same shape. No, in fact some are very whimsical or even considered 'wacky' (drives with very unusual shapes). Below are some "Wacky drives" that were found on the Internet.

Combined with eComstation, these devices will allow you to have a truly customized and unique personal computer.
And have some fun! (smile)
