Mobile Disk (1999-2008)

Call me a sentimental geek, but I'll surly miss my very

first USB thumb drive. It finally moved on to what is beyond cyber space (actually it registered an unreparable error and simply died) yesterday, April 11, 2008. I bought it around 1999 in Shangrila at the top floor computer area (it's now a row of resto's). Even though it's only 128MB it costs around PhP2,000 way back then. I guess, it was so expensive because it was very novel idea at that time to have such device.

Me and my Mobile Disk have been through a lot of memorable things. It stored my Graduate School projects, PowerPoint presentations, and my MA Thesis. There was a time also that it was almost taken by a "holdapper" who held a knife at me and other passengers in an FX (hmmm... it's a funny story, I'll share it again some other time).

My friend told me it's just an object and will be forgotten eventually. I agree, but at least it will be remembered here in my multiply account.
