A lot of us who buy them... USE THEM. It's much more manly to rip out a bigarse lanyard from your pocket with 9.6 million keys on it than it is to have to take it off like a necklace. Necklace boys must be too young to drive, or something.

Beats the hell out of regular fashion statements like tattoos, necklaces with gaudy things on them, etc. It's unfortunate that idiocy is in fashion while intelligence is looked down on :(

I wear mine around my neck while I'm at work.


Attached to the same thing is the ID badge I'm required to wear, so it kills two birds with one stone.


When I go out anywhere, the USB stick goes into my jacket pocket, or into my wallet.

How is wearing a USB stick around your neck a sign of intelligence?

If I had one I'd do the same. I just bum my coworker's when I need one, but I need to get my own.

The average person wouldn't even know what it is - and if they did they'd consider it dorky, nerdy, etc. Not 100% accurate, but I'd guess there's a strong corellation.

outside of the workplace i'd quickly label you a retard and i may even beat you up and take it from you and sell it for profit on ebay.

I have the 256 version of this. Get to keep your nerdy stuff with you, but not look like some kind of a chump who needs to hang his drive round his neck to make himself look intelligent.

The guy at the airport didn't think it was so cool though, last week. Got "busted" by security when going over to our other offices with some colleages :eek:

I have mine attached to my belt on the retractable string thing that has my work badge, master key, and USB Drive.
