elfsI went to Best Buy to price some backup storage, since there are those new ~500MB USB-only drives out there. The guy who decided that a backup drive should be the exact same size and shape as a Moleskin deserves a freakin' Clio for that kind a brilliance.
As I was looking at the selection, a blue-shirted salesdude, older than the average, leaned over said, "Do you need any help?"
I picked up the model I was looking at, a Seagate, and said, "What does this work with?"
"That works with everything." He smiled as if there were a joke hidden somewhere in his reply.
"So, does it work with Ubuntu?"
He said, "Is that for Windows or Mac?"
I sighed. "It's neither. It's an operating system."
"Oh. I don't know."
At least he didn't say, "I doubt it" or something. I put the drive back.
