IT geekshave seen their fashion style go big time in the last few years.First, nerd-rock bands like Weezer have made it MTV huge,spreading the chic of thick-rimmed glasses and short-sleeve dressshirts. Then came "Napoleon Dynamite," the cult movie classicabout the uber-nerd who has done more for the dork set than even"Revenge of the Nerds" ever did. Now comes Imation's FlashWristband.
This flashdrive turned fashion statement is the final accoutrement to theIT geek wardrobe. Similar to the ever-popular yellow "LiveStrong" bracelets, these wristbands are part accessory, part databackup. Imation's flash memory wristband comes in either durable blue orblack. The outer rubber protects the inner drive, as does thefact that the drive wraps around your wrist by "plugging" intoitself.
