Three different colors are available: pink, yellow and blue. A three color set is also available. This made the smile, but the storage capacity of 16MB is not so good, still ok for simple data transfers. What other critters or things you believe will make great storage devices? ---

Not a storage device, but a [USB vibrator](http://www.galleryentertainment.com.au/content/index.pl?u=main.pl%3Fid%3D3462%26page_id%3D17%26tid%3D3) ---

Wow, it’s cute. But for fifty bucks and only 16MB, you’re paying for that cute. I mean, if you love cute, go for it… Me, I just recently got a CigarPro. [http://www.soyo.com.tw/products/proddesc.php?id=224](http://www.soyo.com.tw/products/proddesc.php?id=224) 128MB, I got it for a little over thirty bucks. So far, I love it. It’s a pretty green, it has a thingy for hanging around my neck, it holds lots of stuff. Of course, it’s not as cute as the duck… ---

Every manufacturer of these trinkets, (but useful trinkets), has to have it’s own driver in Win9x. XP on the other hand seems to recognize them all. It’s a real problem with Win98 to have to load all the drivers when you dont’ have them with you or have misplaced (lost) them. There is one that is not even available on the www, made by a subsidiary of “GE.” Aside from not having a standardized driver(s) they sure beat the next best thing, i.e. zip disksdue to being smaller and more connenient to carry. ---

Putting it all together, there is also a ruber ducky vibrator (I don’t think it has a USB port, though). I’ll let you do your own googling, thankewvurymuch.
