Quote from the article:
"Computer storage in any way shape or form has always been popular and important, even if the media it used was not. Before the introduction of high capacity hard drives and writeable and re-writeable compact discs, floppy disks were the way to go. Unfortunatley with only 1.44 MB of storage space, the floppy was quickly phased out in todays world where a single document can easily surpass that limit. Next upto bat for the storage "championship" were portable Jazz/Zip Drives and Tape Drives. Unfortunatley these proved to be unviable due to their large expense and the fact that they were not easily used anywhere. Fast forward many years and we get to meet Mr. USB (universal serial bus). A technology that within a year took off on such a grand scale that almost every home and business user now has easy access to these compact USB ports. The reason for this huge expansion was the fact that so many devices could be quickly, easily, and conveniently be connected using the very same interface."

Again I have to say that 16mb for something like this is pretty useless. Burn it onto a CD and don;t worry about compatibility or driver issues when using the CD on another persons computer.
