Flash Drive Roundup
My local paper, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram ran an article last week about Flash Drives. These are now required equipment for many students starting in middle school if not earlier.
It reminded me of this item Fred posted this report in InfoManager:
Car vs Cruiser USB Flash Drive

> They run over it with... an actual car.
SanDisk Cruzer Titanium vs. Car
Flash Drives
Most of them were 2 Gigabyte drives. One with a clip to put on a lanyard, one as part of a Swiss army knife, one shaped like a rice sushi roll, one that doubles as an MP3 player and others that were more common sticks.
However the one that surprised me was a 64 Gigabyte drive for $4800. And unlike many of the cheaper drives that offer up to 5 year warranties, it comes with only a one year one. I really couldn't see giving one of those to a college student let alone someone younger.
