The ones that are the worst are the plastic sheathed ones.  I guess they have to
make it a bit thicker.  Oh... I'm talking about USB sticks of course.

I have an USB SDHC adapter that fits really tight in my Cubox... oh.. and again,
I'm talking about a USB adapter and a USB port.... in case there was any
question about that.
