Floppy Disk USB Flash Drive

Charles Mangin made a USB flash drive that fits inside a stack of two 3.5 inch floppy disks:

I extended the original cable from the business card USB drive, and routed it through a small piece of plastic, glued in place just inside the opening. This lets out just enough of the cable to plug into a hub or laptop, but prevents me pulling the wires all the way out.

Let's see... 2 x 1.44MB/floppy = 2.88MB. Wow, that's some flash drive! :-)

USB flash drives came out in 2000, became popular in 2001, and cutesy stupid thumb drive case mod's became ho-hum in 2002.

Who still thinks crap like this is cute or clever or useful?

Do these guys make "fork" mod's (look, I glued a pen to my fork, now I can eat and write - yippee! I'm oh so clever).
