If USB flash drives were cars

Ever baught a USB flash drive and wondered

*bought*

now wheres my cap and shirt? :-)

also, although the flash drives may operate at different speeds, I'm not sure if the author is aware of what "usb2.0" as a spec actually means. It is all-encompassing..and includes usb1.0 and usb1.1 devices, as long as they play nicely.
sure, the usb2.0 part means that the potential to operate at higher speeds is there, but if a device (mouse, keyboard or other low speed device) plays nicely on a usb2.0 bus then it can rightfully wear a usb2.0 sticker.

essentially, the usb2.0 moniker isnt a guarantee of any speed whatsoever, it is a guarantee of compatibility. all that was done was a new higher speed was added to an existing set of specifications, and the new set (which includes the older specifications) was released as usb2.0

You only spotted one. There were plenty and I believe there still is one in there for you to sniff out Mr. Spell Checker. :)

As for USB 2.0 you are completely correct. However the certification is used more as a speed promise than anything else as I said, the assumption would be incorrect.

Hammer me why don't you. A PM would have done a gentler job, but I will take this like a man. Lash for lash. :D

Thanks for pointing it out and please find the version 2.0 online for your approval right now. Hello there internet, I did indeed write this without my trusted spell checker. Apologies.

I'm sure there are more, but, honestly, the article was so boring that I could only find the spelling mistake on the second word before my eyes glazed over and I started to imagine what it would be like to watch paint dry, online, on youtube, using iburst, capped, while someone riding a unicorn sucks my toes...
erm...sorry, I drifted off again...

The only thing I am grateful for is that by the time I woke up from my slumber I was cleverer.

/mines the one with the pocket sewn into the lining as storage space for my wooden leg.

I'm sorry. I did not mean to hammer you. I did take the trouble to post this though:

There is at least one typo left in v2.0.
