Attempting my saving throw against gratuitous acquisition

Darn it, I do not need a USB hub that transforms into a panther.

does this make it an "adult toy"?

Complete with safety warning: "Safety Warning: This Product is for Adult Collectors. It may contain sharp points, small parts that are choking hazards, and other elements that are not suitable for children under 16 years of age."

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.)

At $42, I don't either. For half that, I might have been interested...

That's so cool!!!! I want it...but damn...can't justify the cost.

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.

I think it's cool but not $42 cool.

It's old enough to have had a driver's licence for a year in New Zealand.
