Default Who's Got Memory Sticks?

How many of you carry a memory stick on your key chains or your lanyard?
and If you do how big is it?

I've got a 1GB in my center console with nothing on it, a 4GB and various and assorted hard drives in my lap top bag. Used to carry it on my keys but I read that having crap on your key chain is bad for the tumblers in the ignition switch, so all thats on my key now is a carbon fiber Audi key chain that I bought from a fine gentleman on these Audi Forums

I have a 16, 8, and a 4. The 16 has a bootable ubuntu distro, if I'm ever using a school pc or something where I want my own environment to work in (as well as not having a limited OS in my schools case). 8 is good if you want a few movies/media/portable itunes. 4 is if you just carry word docs, maybe some pics, and other small stuff

I think if my USB stick looked like my key fob, I would spend way too much time trying to figure out why the car won't unlock while I'm pressing futilely on the wrong button (WTF, f*(kin' Audi! whats wrong now! DMNIT)
