    Damn....I wish I had a use for more than the 128mb I have...which incidentally cost about $45 a few years ago.

    Nice find :D

    Damn I just bought a PNY 1gig stick last month. So far its been great. I do think that almost anyone who needs one at this point, already own one.

    I got one ... I also got an extra 10% off :D ... you just cannot beat that $17

    I bought a 256MB generic drive less than 3 years ago for $80+, and another sandisk 1GB last year for $60+ ... times have changed :)

    I snagged one too. I have a 128mb one that I picked up about 6 months ago for something like $25 and I thought that was a great deal. I only have been using like 45mb of it so I don't know what I'm going to do with a 1gb drive but for $20 delivered? Why not? Thanks for the link and info!

    As a side note: If anybody is looking for something little bigger than 1gb, Staples has the I/O 4gb flash drive for $60 after rebates. Great deal but I personaly don't have a use for something that big.

    Sykotic, hell of a deal you got there. The cheapest I was able to find on ebay was around $105 shipped. Again, don't really have a use for it yet but I do like the toys!

    4GB Corsair Voyager for about $100. As far as I'm concerned at this point, if you're paying more than $25/GB on a flash drive, you're overpaying.
