    Click the "USB Flash Drives" link on the top of the Crucial home page. The treasure chest will be on the right, just below the "Free Shipping" image.

    I love it when serious businesses are not afraid to be goofy. :p

    LOL ... They were just talking about "Talk like a pirate day" on the news.

    I didn't even know such a day existed. I don't know if I can walk around NYC talking like a pirate tho.
