I remember bringing a 64M USB drive to school and telling the librarians that "this is the future"

I think back then you needed to install drivers, so I was trying to get them to install drivers on all the library computers so that it would "just work" for students. Before then we used to have to burn files onto CDs or DVDs to bring them to school.
