You can, except you don't need to carry around any data on a chip. Just
log in via any networked computer and access your files from a central
source. For one example, just go to docs.google.com and give it a try.
Best of all, it doesn't matter what kind of computer you are using. It
works just fine with Macs, or Linux, or even Windows.
Boy, that sure does sound an awful lot like a mainframe, especially
when you start talking about "thin clients."
