How do you keep from losing your pen drives?
Rather than hijack the thread on "how big?", I decided to start this one.
How do you keep from losing your pen drives?
(I don't.)

Don't let your siblings "borrow" it, you'll never get it back...

Re: How do you keep from losing your pen drives?
Been lucky so far... haven't lost one (yet). Did leave one behind at class one day but luckily a fellow student returned it to me at the next class period. The caps, on the other hand... I'm 100% on destroying or losing the caps. 
Just got one of those "usb flash drive caddies" to keep them in one place.

I keep them on a high, high, high shelf far away from the infamous FLASH MONSTER!
And HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! As usual, I got it first

Insert pen drive in port. Liberally apply Super Glue.

Re: How do you keep from losing your pen drives?
I toss them into my desk drawer with all the other freebie pen drives that IBM sent me.
When I wish to find a file on one, I sit for an hour plugging and unplugging pen drives until I find the right one.

I got some 175k 8 inch floppies here if you want to add them to your antique collection.
