I just bought 10 1 GB drives from Hong Kong for $6 each including
postage.  (The volume discount was only 50 cents each) We have a
discussion group here every week, and I got tired of burning CD's for
the goodies I found on the internet that others wanted.  A lot of the
people don't have broadband.  1GB thumb drives are plenty big enough for
this stuff.  BTW, they came without any U3.
