faxes are great because I can draw a picture of a butt and fax it to my friend dave at work and then call him and tell him I sent him a fax and he has to go to the fax machine and pick up the picture of the butt that's been sitting there for an hour where everyone can see it and it's got "HEY DAVE CHECK OUT THIS rear end" written on it

You forgot MemoryStick MagicGate!

also you just made me lol thinking about MemoryStick that maxed out at 128MB and the only way Sony could get around it was by making MemorySticks with a bank switch on the back





memory sticks had the best form factor of any of the flash memory formats. Just the right size for normal human hands, had a little clicky thing to let you know it was plugged in, very good all around

too bad about literally every other aspect of them.

I can understand a track ball to use your hand but a thumb track ball?!

He’d play Morrowind all day. Always jumping.

its not a thumb trackball, your thumb sits at the scroll wheel there, your index & middle finger on the ball and your other two on the other buttons
