Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Transcend mother-of-pearl USB Flash drive

Don't know what a mother-of-pearl coated USB Flash drive should be "trendy", but manufacturer Transcend reckons it is. The slimline - 4.8mm thick - drive has 2GB of storage on board and includes software to let you use your apps on someone else's computer without leaving any files behind. All well and good, but will Transcend still be selling it in 30 years' time?
