    why are all the ones I've seen long and thin?

    I know it makes it easier to get into tight spaces but can't you get a fatter type that isn't as long so it doesn't stick out as far if tight spaces ain't a concern?

    There are some that have the cable instead. The length is primarily to make it longer than the end you find on most devices like keyboards or a mouse. It's thin because the ports for USB are so close together. There are some that are the thickness of 2 ports in the part that hangs out of the PC, but it doesn't fit well in the front of many PCs.

    Just accept it and deal with it. 250+ million other people have. :P

    I have a pqi 512MB stick that is short and stocky.



    The only difference is mine is 512MB.

    they look good but again why so thin?

    is it impossible to make it twice or even 3 times the thickness and half the length?

    This would be the first time Americans like things small and inobtrusive. :P You should be happy with it.
