And some claim that the soaps are behind the times

This is a tech note from ABC soap One Life to Live: a character stole some data from another's laptop by means of a flash drive kept on his keychain. This household was a late adapter when it came to video recorders. We do tape OLTL and AMC through the week to be dipped into on sleep timer if needed; the sounds of people talking (and not talking politics or "news") can be soporific. This is the first time that I've noticed a flash drive being used in any way on TV or in the movies.
