Hello Carol
That goes for me too - I'm completely in the dark - no pun intended ;o)
I like the idea of a small box which would be good for makers of all sorts of
lace - though another bobbin wouldn't go astray!!!

Dear Friends,
Okay, I'll stick my neck out and post my response to the list. I'd spear-head
it but I don't know how I could handle mailing out so many etc. The logistics
have to be thought out...
While many might think a flash drive is a great idea, I personally
have never used one :)
Hi Carol,
I've ususally seen them referred to as USB memory sticks over here.

A flash drive is a portable storage device used with computers, which has a
USB interface; you plug it into a USB socket. They're sometimes called
thumb drives, because they are about the size of a thumb. They come in a
wide variety of storage
Carol and Diana,
A flash drive is a small device -not as big as your thumb- which is plugged
into the USB port of a computer so that files (documents or pictures, for
example) can be saved there. Once on the flash drive, they can easily be
accessed or copied to as many other computers an you
Oh I have some of those but I just call them memory sticks!! I've published
books and sent them to the printer on a memory stick - sorry flash drive ;-)
Thanks Clay for clearing that up.

Although I like the bobbin idea, and I love the idea of a commemorative
cloth, how about this idea? Why don't we have a 20th Anniversary Flash drive
made with a lace design on the cap.
I propose this idea because Arachne is an internet group.
It is now the case that people store and

anything I said was so pronounced. Unfortunately you both have only responded
I have been quiet on this subject until now. But I like your idea Devon.
However I have no idea how it would be organised, so am not offering to
organise it. Hopefully there is someone on the list who could.

Just make sure it's a high quality flash drive; good memory, sturdy
construction, a cap that stays on when you want it to. Nothing shoddy for

This is reassuring.
It would be a nice option for those who use them (or wear them, Devon!). I
prefer a bobbin over any other commemorative though ;)

I perceive the lace flash drive as being something so innately pretty that
you would wear it as a pendant, a lovely vintage piece, even after the USB

Abandoning our club pins we will all don our decorative flash drive

Hi All
As a Science Historian, the one thing I can tell right now is that a
flash drive will be old technology and will have no use within 10 years.
Data storage devices change every time there is a new advance. It is
only a matter of a few years before flash drives are a thing of the past
Following up on the idea of the flash drive... ( thanks, Devon, Bev, and
Nancy in particular)... I realize that while I have several of then, I rarely
use them any more. One reason is that I find my iPhone and IPad so much more
efficient for transferring information from one device to the
From a lurker who has been reading all these suggestions. One that hasn't been
suggested is tote bags. In 1999 Arachne offered large canvass totes with an
imprint on them. Mine is large enough to take my tablemate on demos.
