get a thumb drive/flash drive already
part of the work i do involves previewing drafts of video edits and general transfer of data from one person/source to another. we are talking about anything from photos to scripts to logos to music tracks to video edit drafts.
in my 2 year stint at an ad agency, i remember using cassette and vhs tapes to present drafts internally and to clients. in the last couple of years, we have been using cd's and dvds to do the same. what happens to the draft discs? they gather dust and occasionally get used as coasters. i'm not an installation artist and don't have much use for obsolete drafts in discs. that's throwing about 10 to 25 pesos per disc.
in 2004 (2005?) my brother's birthday gift to me was a 62MB flash drive. whoa. not much by these days' standards, but all i really wanted to do then was stop carrying 3.5 floppy discs around. when i moved to cebu in late 2005, my office issued 2gig flash drives so we could pass edit contents & drafts amongst us. goodbye single use discs.
