Thanks for catching this, Andreas.  I suspect there are people using
GnuPG today who have never even seen a floppy disk, so i think you're
right to suggest a change.

As a native english speaker, I'd suggest "on a USB flash drive" or "on a
USB stick" instead of "on a flash memory"  It's a narrower meaning, but
more common usage.  and as an example, it doesn't need to have the
widest possible meaning, just something  that people will recognize.
