    I knew a guy who saved everything on USB sticks because back in the day, internal storage was negligible

      When internal storage was negligible, USB sticks barely existed. The first one I bought was 64 MB. It seemed huge at the time to have an easily rewritable external storage that was bigger than the 1.44 MB of a floppy.

        Yes, he’s used to external storage in general and instead of switching to internal storage, he went from floppy to CD to USB sticks.
