2GB U3 Smart Drive
February 24, 2006
The 2GB U3 Smart Drive almost eliminates the need for portable laptops.
Just pre-load all your settings onto the Smart Drive. Then, go somewhere and plug it into any random Windows XP or 2000 PC. It’ll throw all your settings up there–your wallpaper, your office applications, your games, your music, your photos, and so forth.
After you’re done on the computer, any changes you’ve made are saved to the drive — and when you pull the drive out, the PC goes back to the way it was. Sweet, eh?
