One of the coolest birthday presents I've ever received!

USB 3.0 coming in 2008

"The current USB 2.0 version has a top data-transfer rate of 480 megabits per second, so a tenfold increase would be 4.8 gigabits per second." Read how on Crave : The gadget blog.

Merging new and old

Here's a product that I find pretty much a solution in search of a problem. The Amazon.com: Sony Floppy Disc Interface for Memory Stick allows you to use a memory stick in a floppy drive all for about $40. Folks, get a card reader/writer (which will allow you to use multiple types of cards) instead and plug it into a USB outlet. If you don't have a USB outlet, you've got larger problems than this product will solve.
