More failed technology. Who would have wanted to carry around a big box for 20 meg anyway?
The cost? I haven't been able to find one on the Web, but a standard HDD at the time would have run $500 to $600. So, this little toy probably would have been closer to $1000. Today, you can get a 2 TB thumb drive for less than $30. You probably use Dropbox -- or something like it -- for portability in any event.
