Whoa? Under 16? I think I was quite capable (without creating any particular hazard arising from extreme youth) of handling stuff with "sharp points" and "small parts" well before I was 16! (I mean, really! That's old enough to apply for a driver's license in many places.)
I saw that the other day and was briefly tempted, but it's hugely expensive for that capacity, and it looked to me like it wouldn't retain its brick-USB-key shape very well.
I don't have a really good memory of it, but I seem to recall that that day a bunch of us surfed around and found several transforming USB keys.
I saw that when I was looking for a 2G thumbdrive and decided it was not only way too expensive, it looked like it might fall apart under stress. I ended up with a Kingston Traveler.
does this make it an "adult toy"?
