You can just ask random people for quests!

I went to a pub and asked this guy if he had any missions for me. He turned to me with a serious look, said and I quote: “I need you to recover an 8GB white Toshiba flash drive I lost around here yesterday. It has some valuable information, but it’s encrypted, so dont go snooping in. If you find it for me. I’ll make it worth your while.”

        I use 8gb thumb drives! They’re what’s in my miscellaneous drawer and I haven’t needed a larger one

          The guy above you was obviously being disingenuous. I use 8gb thumb drives to organise my jobs and hobbies. All the work I need for Job A is on Drive A etc.

          So there’s got to be at least ten of us. Maybe even twenty!!

            You can get a bunch of fairly reliable 8GBs cheap from the right places, I use them for boot media or installers or “man it’d be really nice to move a file from here to there without much thought” scenarios

        Hello I am using them! Well actually I don’t even have bigger than a 4GB. But mostly I use my big box of 508MB usb sticks they do their job fine because rarely I need to transfer something that needs to be together so I just use like 3 or four when I am lazy.

        I still use 8gig, but for work. If I’m giving this away with three docs on it, I’m buying them in bulk and trying to get them cheap
