I like this. I'd definitely buy this, especially for digital video projects that take up so much freakin' storage space!

Brilliant concept.

Back in the old days, in the old country, one could see someone walking on a street with a bunch of rolls of toilet paper around their body... now they'll be walking with USB sticks around the body instead...

Just out of curiosity, Djiezes, is Flemish your first language?

Euh, yes.
I'm guessing 'genial' wasn't the most appropriate choice of words.
I was aiming for an adjective of genius.

RecordSage, I was thinking about people carrying coins around their necks, those coins with holes... and now, since we're moving towards a knowledge-based economy, we could make bracelets out of these!

@Djiezes:

I knew what you meant -- it's the same word in German. Inexplicably English does not have the same word -- in English, "genial" [url=ninjawords.com/genial]means "cheerful"[/url]. Odd, huh?

Let me try that again ...

Quite odd.
Though The Free Dictionary mentions:

1. Having a pleasant or friendly disposition or manner. See Synonyms at gracious.
2. Conducive to life, growth, or comfort; mild: "the genial sunshine . . . saturating his miserable body with its warmth" Jack London.
3. Obsolete Relating to or marked by genius.
4. Obsolete Of or relating to marriage; nuptial.
Even French has 'génial' as an accurate translation.
Another German translation could be 'vernünftig'.

So we have German & French ... How did that give away my Flemish origins again?

Just guessing, since you're in Belgium and have clipped stuff in what looked like Dutch.

@Torley - sorry for being so unsophisticated... sometimes the ugly past surfaces I like your scenario much better.

Oh, right.
I thought you had based all that on the word 'genial', which would've been quite brilliant.
