USER INQUIRY
I have one of those tiny USB memory stick flash drive devices. I want to put my identification on it in case it is lost, but it is too small to show my complete contact information. What can I do?

ANSWER
Consider including a text file that contains your contact information in the root directory of the device. Save all your files in a sub folder that is given the name "files" or simply the current year. If found, a person can quickly identify your contact information in the root directory. Rather than having a single file with your contact information, consider having several text files with names like "if-found" and "owner-information" and "this-belongs-to" and "read-me" making it more intuitive.
