Point is I'm not going to create a FAT partition on my disk then go work out of it.

- darkpuma 7y agoMaybe you won't, but other people do. Dropbox and similar services have eaten away at the practice, but a lot of people still walk around with flash drives, partition table untouched since they bought it, with all their personal and work files. Not merely just using it to transfer large photographs or pirated movies, but keeping their de facto 'home directory' in that flashdrive. For a few years in the mid to late 00s, it seemed like almost everybody was doing this. Before that, I knew people who did it with zip drives. And I even once knew a guy who tried it with DVD-RAM, but gave up pretty quick.
