Ohhh one more thing.... no disrespect intended.. but if it had been your thumb... it would have been a thumb drive.

It's one of those things that sounds weird at first... but it actually makes a lot of sense putting the drive in there.

Todella hieno suunitelma. Jos kerran voi tikun, tai muun laitteen laittaa, niin miksi pitää pelkkä proteesi ilman mitään?

Loistava idea.

Absolutely wonderful! Too bad you lost a finger, but this invention makes me actually a bit jelous. :)

Keep up the good work, Jerry!

hi!
I saw your picture in a Spanish newspaper on-line call 20minutos, follow the link to see that your picture has all rights reserved, and I imagine that you have not asked permission.
just because you know. a greeting.
PD: What the finger is a very good idea.
I feel sorry for my level of English

I'm sure the guys from elmundo.es didn't ask you to ¡¡¡snapshot your flickr instead of linking it!!!
They are fuckin extremely conservative and rancious, and its owner loves to be pissed on by ederly womans while dressed on corset.
Take care of them!

Hi, Jerry! I have read about your 2GB finger in Russian newspaper F5 (www.f5.ru). They called you The First Cyborg in the World, because of Lynux programms in the USB drive. You are very popular now, congrats! $-)

Dear Jerry: I think that in less than a decade, your pictures may be those of a great visionary. There are great advances in both nanomechanics and molecular biology. Nowadays, very good work is done with people that have lost whole limbs and prototypes of (bionic) legs and hands succefully connect with the nervous system, in a decade time, replacing lesser injuries might be done combining bio mechanics and nanomedicine.
I think that yours is a vision of the near future, and I shared your pic with a 13 yo kid that lost two fingers, and he suddenly changed his whole approach to his injury.
I saw your story at ynet.co.il in Israel.
Best regards and thank you for sharing your inspiring story.
