Forget televisions...

... I want the roll-up computer screen.

For years I've envisioned a tube with a windowshade-like pull tab that would unscroll to be a computer display. You could sling it on a strap over your shoulder.

Bring it on!

How cool is this!!!!!!

Yes, you are now reading my first post drafted and upstreamed from my new 128MB USB microdrive.

The thing is a sleek lozenge about 3 inches long and less than an inch wide, and about a quarter of an inch thick, and weighs about half an ounce. It fits on my keychain or dangles like a cool amulet from a lariat around my neck, flapper-style (I removed the annoying pen-clip). All I have to do is pull off the cap, plug it in, and BOOM ~ a hard drive with my Radio installation and all relevant files is good to go from any Mac running OS X. I can't detect a meaningful difference in reponsiveness between the Radio server on the USB drive or my internal hard drive. Sweet.

So I don't have to tote my laptop back and forth to the office, or keep it hooked up to dialup from home. No sirree. Have blog, will travel! Oh, and I still have another 100 MB free to stuff with whatever I want.

I ordered this puppy from MacConnection last night and had it this morning for under $100. Some days you just have to looooooooove technology!
