A couple of years ago, I had a conversation with Deb Coates about the future of browsers and web applications. Deb recently posted on her blog about new 16gbyte flash drives. Following the thread (yes, Deb I do read your blog), I found this posting on U3. This is an example of where we discussed the technology evolving... basically the ability to carry your data and applications with you. Of course, having the data and application follow you is even better.
