Thumbdrive Uses

[gfish]

I just got a free 256MB thumbdrive from work. I doubt I'll use it for transferring files much, since that is why we invented networks a couple decades back, but it seems like it could useful for copies of utilities and data I'd like to guarantee I always have available. I just loaded it with putty, pscp, a collection of favorite etexts and my PDFs of the Machinery's Handbook. What else should I add?

Dunno what's covered in the Machinery's Handbook, but...

- Computer cabling pinout diagrams. There are a few of these on the web you could download.

- Copy of your contact list for when your cell phone battery is dead.

- Copies of your catch-all tech-support how-to documents folder. You've got one of those, right?

- Installer or binaries of your favorite text editor.

- Installer or binaries of your favorite instant messenger client.

- Family pictues.
