    Man, that's a hideous thumbdrive.

    Thanks for the headsup though.

    Deal is back

    I ordered a couple before I noticed the Chinese characters read "laozi", which is an incorrect pairing of " laoshu" and "hao zi", both meaning "rat". "Laozi", on the other hand, is the name of the philosopher and (generally accepted) founder of Taoism.

    Oh well, cheap enough for a 2GB drive, especially if you burn your Google Checkout offer.
