and if we were talking about per-gb we would all use our dvd-rw
drives.. I just bought a 50 pack for 10 bucks..

that doesn't mean I should run around and buy a dvd burner from every
desktop in the house.. because there is a variable cost and a fixed
cost.

thumb drives have no fixed cost-- you dont need to buy a thumbdrive
player.. so it's infinitely more portable and thus powerful.

and it's faster than CD!!! I write a 20mb compressed backup once a day
and it takes what.. 2-3 seconds?

no initialization.. I don't need to finalize.. I don't need to buy
3rd party software to write to my thumbdrive

and I don't need to wait 10 seconds for the roxio bull*** app to open
to use my thumbdrive.

Possibly, but there are still a fair number in use. Just like there are
still a fair number of Windows 98 machines in use.

thumbdrives?

2gb for $30? I've seen hundreds of people with these recently; almost
nobody uses CDr and DVD anymore..

CD-Rs are still MUCH CHEAPER per GB. 100-packs go for under US$30, so 3
CD-Rs cost less than US$1, and that's 2GB. Maybe not as convenient as
flash drives, but cheaper. And FWLIW, where I work we have CD writer
drives, but no flash drives.
