    As someone who has lost a few caps over the years I applaud the capless design. Now I have to worry about losing the whole thing! :)

    I used to carry a hammer in my computer tool kit. Just for fixing the packard Bells though.......

    Agreed.

    I use my HH drive to store back-ups of all the latest drivers along with part of my wallpaper collection.

    What do you use yours for mental?

     

    a cpu, a board, some ram, a gfx card, an opty, a hdd and a psu... all in a case

    If I may be permitted to answer as well. I have the latest drivers for all kinds of hardware as well. I also have a bootable copy of Ubuntu Linux. (For getting at data from pesky Windows machines that refuse to boot.) A copy of Ad-Aware and Spybot as well as Virus removel tools and a text list of BIOS key combo's for retail systems (Getting old and can't remember them all!) round out Flash drive one.  I would tell you what's on Flash drive two but I would have to kill you..... :)

    You actually have a great idea there storing your drivers.  I've been mainly using it for holding my resumes and cover letters for internships that I apply for. And of course I have some hd recovery software on there, just in case.

     

    I think I can guess where necro keeps his pron stash...of cars of course.
