I think calling them dongles is a misnomer... they are memory sticks. I have one
that holds 32MB and it's way way more convenient for moving stuff (especially
large stuff) than floppies or burning a CD... great for those times when network
access isn't an option...
(My PC is rather catholic, it's been on way more networks than most people's and
even though I run virus scan a lot, many clients are leery of letting it on to
their network)
