Hi everyone! I love new inventions and toys and such, so I'd thought I'd post about a product called "Computer-On-a-Stick", which I just got today. It has its own operating system and everything! I thought someone might want to provide feedback on what they think. Check it out at www.fingergear.com

Well, The screen seems kinda small how are you expected to click those small icons and the fingerptint ID thing, what if you cut your finger or something? It would ruin the ID meaning you couldn't use your PC until it healed. My grandfather is a bricklayer and from handing the bricks with his bare hands for over 35 years all his fingerprints have faded to nothing (I want that, criminal work would be so much easier) So it wouldn't work for everyone I guess.

Wow, what a deal. $50 at newegg.com get a 1GB flash drive, then take that, and install put Damn Small Linux on it. Same thing, 4x the storage, and half as much.

Edit: look whats on it:

Gnome GUI Desktop Latest Mozilla Firefox Web Browser OpenOffice Productivity Suite, including the following applications:
  1. Word Processing
  2. Spreadsheets
  3. Vector Drawings
  4. Slide Presentations
Evolution Email Gaim Instant Messaging Client - compatible with MSN Messenger, Yahoo IM, AIM, ICQ, IRC, and more. Remote Access Applications (SSH, VNC, RDP) PDF Creator/Viewer & Postscript Viewer Automatic Network Configuration - DHCP
So they're charging you $75 to install DSL on your pen drive.
