Cool; that's a great friend you have!

Got to admit, that is pretty nifty! Just a cart, USB stick housed inside the cart, and a USB extender, right? The icon pops up as the storage device when plugged in?

Do you use a mac? If so, it is cool that he used a apple usb cable. If not...

You can see the Apple keyboard in the pics, and the icon/font is Mac style, so I'd say Mac, yes.

You can see the Apple keyboard and the pics, and the icon/font is Mac style, so I'd say Mac, yes.

Doh, I didn't even notice the keyboard! I was too busy looking at the cart.

I believe so, don't plan to open it to find out It's 16 GB as the name implies.

Yep - I've done a custom icon for a 2 GB USB stick I have as well (also received it from my friend & his wife).

Yep - same friend gave me an old PowerMac G3 w/OS X as my first mac. At the time I used OS/2 and was evaluating switching to Linux, but it wasn't quite there yet. I hadn't considered Macs before because I'd used them on a job in the early 90s and it wasn't for me.

Yep - though I use that keyboard with 4 systems (via a KVM) and only one of them is a Mac. The other 3 are my work supplied Windows computers (I work from home).
