I can't decided if this is the work of an undiscovered genius or the product of a deeply unsound mind but either way I don't think I'd be overstating it by declaring this the best thing ever invented in the whole world ever:

Genius. I want one!

They are compatible with Windows (7 and lower); Mac (all OS's); Linux; and all other past, present, and future operating systems - no drivers needed!

Brilliant.

I totally don't get it!

It's a rock that plugs into your computer and doesn't do anything, am I missing something?

It does everything the vintage, classic Pet Rock does, but it's Windows and Mac compatible!!!

I think you'll find it does everything you tell people it does... it's just it won't do it whilst they're around. Pet rocks are notoriously shy. :wink:

Unlike other hardware it never causes any hardware/driver/software conflicts. It is 100% plug and play, requires no install or uninstall and will never require you to have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to work again. It is also 100% immune to any computer virus and unlike most other USB hardware the computer does not even have to be on for you to use it!

Excellent buy.

Oh well that explains it all then.

As is so happens, I've just started breeding pet empty tin cans which I'm happy to let anyone have for the the price of £5.99 and I'll even throw in a lifetime supply of tin can food with the purchase. A total bargain considering that they're all pure pedigree Heinz cans. I'm sure that a genetic modification and I'll have USB whatsayoucallit offsping in no time.

I don't think you're taking this seriously.

My first pet was a stone. It had a little balsa wood cage and googly eyes.

Really!

I also had a pet rock. He was half a breeze-block and his name was Fraggle

I now have horrible images of Mandrake proudly cradling a "chocolate" log. Thank you.

Seriously though, USB pet rock? I want one.
