Vintage Forbes “Capitalist Tool” 64 MB USB Flash Drive Pen – Complete Presentation SetAn unusual piece of early portable-digital-storage and corporate memorabilia: The Forbes Pen, combining a writing instrument with an integrated USB thumb drive.The original Forbes literature states:“The enclosed Forbes pen features a thumb drive which allows you to transport up to 64 mb of documents, presentations, etc.”The USB connector is concealed within the pen and exposed by removing the end cap. At only 64 MB, the storage capacity is a wonderful reminder of the early era of portable USB storage, when the accompanying Forbes literature promoted the device as particularly useful for transporting larger files and replacing the need to burn CDs.This example is unusually complete and includes the original Forbes presentation packaging and accessories shown.Included:* Forbes combination pen/64 MB USB thumb drive
* Forbes green presentation box with fitted insert
* Removable USB/end cap
* Original USB extension cable
* Original driver/software CD
* Small original accessory/tool shown in photographs
* Original “The Forbes Pen / Forbes Capitalist Tool” literatureCondition: Pre-owned vintage condition with normal signs of age, storage and handling to the pen, packaging, literature and accessories.The USB drive and software/CD have not been tested. Due to the age of the technology, no guarantee is made regarding compatibility, stored data, software functionality or current operation.A particularly interesting collectible for Forbes memorabilia, vintage-computing, early USB technology or corporate promotional-item collectors.Please examine all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description and condition.
