DL. Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 In English I call it “USB flash drive”. In Swedish it’s always just a direct translation of “USB memory”, which is what it’s called in computer magazines and among techies.Many people here call it (in Swedish) “USB memory stick”, “memory stick”, “USB stick” or simply “the stick” (on the subject of portable data storage, “put it on the stick”). In rare cases it’s called “USB memory card”, because it’s put in the same category as other memory cards in online stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idontwantspam Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Me three! That'll really go well with my "palm top" and "lap top". Ha! What do those look like?lol, i dont even use my laptop on top of my lap. and what if u call it a notebook? you dont take notes in it and its not a book..I call it a laptop even though I never put it on my lap. Most people I know call them laptops. The computer companies often call them notebooks. I think they should be called portable computers, but who wants to say all that instead of just laptop? A word of WARNING:DO NOT EVER try to swallow a "Tablet PC":rofl:jaclazI learned that the hard way. Thing is I fried the computer, too, because I tried to take it with water.
