The New Yorker has released a new hard drive that comes with instant access to every article, poem, short story, and cartoon since 1925.
From the site:
Over 4,000 issues of your favorite magazine now sit, ready for you to search and savor, on an 80G incredibly light-weight and travel-friendly drive. This high-performance, brushed-aluminum hard drive measures only 3" x 5" and can easily fit inside a purse or briefcase, so it's a cinch to show off to your tech-savvy friends and co-workers. Plus, there is plenty of extra room on the drive for future updates.
Use it at home, on a plane, at the office — anywhere you can find a computer. Simply install The Complete New Yorker program (installation CD provided), then connect the drive to a USB port on your computer. and
