It'll also hold several card's worth of data from my digital camera, a
backup OS X installation if I want to boot from iPod, some video, some
voice clips.

Wow. Talk about useful.

(Do you never go out somewhere - I'd say in the car, but that's assuming
you're old enough to drive - and think "Damn, I wish I had this track
with me", only to find you brought/loaded the wrong songs?

I don't. I've got all the music I own right here on my belt. I've also
got the CDs, but my car's CD player only takes six of them, and it's a
bit dangerous to change when driving).
