What to do with a 16mb flash drive

I have a 64meg that I use as a backup for my MS Money file, some documents (like SARS scans) and a few family pics.
Use it once a month.
 
Or, to take TIAL's suggestion further :

Create a text file saying "A reminder : the password to unlock the extra 10Gb's of hidden storage space (lots of free windows Vista DVD images and activation keys) is XYZZY".... :D:D:D
 
Seriously, an old 16 MB flash card or drive is ideal for someone who (like me) is fanatic about having 'redundant' backups of everything I do during my working day. I keep mine permanently plugged into my laptop's USB port and every time I save my document or whatever I'm working on, I use the right-click Send To command to send another copy to the 16 MB drive. So barring a total wipeout I always have a second copy of every single file I produce or update during the day -- and I zap the oldest half of the drive's contents every few days to make way for new. Combined with my normal pre-shutdown backup of the day's files to a larger drive, it gives a great feeling of (false?) security.........

- Next time you get that email where you've won the Lotto, tell the mail sender that you'll put your details on the flash disk if he tells you where the send them to. Then put a virus on it and post it.

- Send it via snail mail to your S.O. wif a small text file on it that says: Stoke luffs you.

- Put an encrypted zip on it called TOP-SECRET, snail mail it to your boss in a brown envelope with confidential written allover the place ...

You could create a list of positive things Telkom has done in the last 10 years and still have 20MB left over :D

Or if you support PC's you could use it for an emergency boot disk.
 
Wow, I have to be honest I didn't expect anyone to reply to this thread. Boy was I wrong, lol. Some of these replies have been excellent. If anything I can save this thread on the flash drive.

give it away to a poor person aka student. A few of my cash-strapped mates who were struggling to get by were using the 16mb drives just to transport tuts to and from uni.

That thought has crossed my mind, however isn't 16mb a bit small?

If I do the first option I think the drive would come up with a write (liar error) lol


Write an autorun batch file to format c, then leave it in the post office.[/QUOTE]

Dude that's just nasty, but I like the idea. Although I am more likely to leave it at Telkom:p

Good point, however doesn't a PSP have more than 16mb of storage space?
 
You could use it to update your motherboard bios, instead of using stiffy's ect..
