A computer programmer who lost his finger in a motorcycle accident has replaced the missing digit with a prosthetic with a USB drive to store digital files.

Jerry Jalava uses the 2GB memory stick by peeling back the prosthetic's "nail" to store photos, movies and programs.

The finger isn't permanently attached to his hand so he can leave it plugged into a computer if he wants.

The Finnish man says he is already thinking about upgrading and says he got the idea from doctors who were treating him after his accident.

Jalava says the doctors joked he should have a "finger drive" when they found out Jalava was a software developer.
