I'm not disagreeing with you, but as someone else who's also feeling the sting of having a small built-in HD on my mbp, I can point out that 256G thumb drives are like $60 right now. "Insanely cheap" is of course relative, but I'm not going to call that prohibitive.

Friendly reminder that not everyone lives in a developed country.

$60 (+shipping+taxes+customs+middlemen) can be really prohibitive in a non-developed country.

I think you'd have a bigger problem with the MacBook part of your equation there.

If a person has trouble w/ 60, maybe they got the macbook as a gift. If they got it as a gift, it's not too hard to ask for a 60 dollar thumb drive as well.
