It's not really just a drive - it's a drive plus portable "cloud" access. So it's really more like a regular computer.

In fact, it's like a cloud computer... unlike a regular computer it makes your content accessible to the world by default.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
