So, where can I get this now?
And Alzheimers is a nasty bitch. My beloved grandfather died of it a couple of years ago. He was a tech junkie, just as I grew up to be, but when I reached the age where I actually would have been able to discuss those things and build stuff and so on with him the Alzheimers had gone too far already, and the years went by, he became worse and worse, you couldn’t talk to him and so on, and then he was just gone. I become sad every time I think about it. How much time good time we could have had if the alzheimers could have been prevented. I know what Alzheimers does, it’s a horrible thing. And if I can support the Alzheimers awareness and cure-development, while at the same time getting an awesome USB-memory, I’m up for it.
So, the question remains, where can I get this thing?

Even without Alzheimer’s, I’d probably forget that this thing was a USB drive, and then lose it like I lost all my wedge erasers.
I love clicky erasers, by the way.

I’d buy one if they were for sale and the proceeds went to Alzheimer’s causes. Doesn’t look like they’re for sale though.

Hopefully it’s not one of those erasers that when you use it, everything just gets smudged around.
Usually there’s no going back from that point. No eraser is powerful enough to fix the smudge.

Sure, this concept’s fine for le cause célèbre, but certain novelty ‘Erasers’ are best left unplugged…

Damn! I was gonna say, that’s pretty cold to name a flash drive system an Alzheimer eraser! That’s like making Stevie Wonder Brand Bincoluars. But i guess its ok because its Alzheimers awareness….

“It looks and acts like an ordinary eraser until you open it and discover it is also a USB memory stick”.
Then, it looks and acts like an ordinary USB memory stick, until you boot and discover that it contained Darik’s Boot And Nuke.
Much free disk memory again 4thewin!

This type of thing will make you feel like you have alzheimers.

These USB puns get me every time.

@pixelsnader: I’d love to get paid to dick around on the internet.
I mean, I do, technically. I dick around the internet all day at work. I guess what I meant was to not have to do anything else at work..
Not implying that he doesn’t, just saying I wouldn’t mind that.

The more you erase the more precious data you lose! Best not make too many mistakes.

So can it erase Alzheimer’s? I am confused. What were we talking about again?
But seriously what size(s) is the flash?

I was gonna say this is in bad taste ’til I read the whole article (it was short, well within my attention span). Definitely a good cause.

Ha! This is seriously cool. Want one too.

That’s really cool, I want one. Jesus, how do you find these things? I feel like you StumbleUpon all day, or have a god damn good RSS reader with tons of feeds.
