Old USB flashdrives
I just realized that I guess I'm collecting USB flashdrives (or USB pendrives, or USB keys -- whatever you personally call them).
I'll have to send around and e-mail to family and friends, mentioning that if they have any obsolete oldies (e.g. 128MB, 512MB...) -- don't throw 'em away!!! I'll buy 'em at the market value (whatever that may be).
I just feel bad for obsolete technology that no-one loves anymore...

They still sell 512 MB flash drives in bins at the checkout counters at the local office supply stores here in the US for the insane ($$) price of $9.95. At some point, the price should drop enough that instead of disposable CD's/DVD's, we'll have disposable flash drives (not necessarily any better for the landfill).
Someone (Wil Wheaton?) has proposed that as a new mode of delivery for music: rather than selling albums at concerts, haanding out USB flashdrives for ten bucks for a zillion mp3 files (including rarities and outtakes).

Still collecting AOL CDs too? You're an addict.
