Talk to me in a couple months time about that especially if you write to it
often.  I have yet to see a real need for 2G of storage on those unless it is
to write a couple movies to it for later playing on a suitable player.  That is
the only real use I can think for that size of usb flash disk.  For booting
from 16M is about right and more then that is wasted.  Same with other bootable
flash disks methinks, especially the real expensive industrial jobbers no
matter what interface used.

Same here.  I have yet to see a rebate on the good stuff but mind you I have
yet to see the standard retailers sell any good stuff so I suppose it does work
out.

Good for you.  In this part of the world the popular retailers sell junk, even
the brandnames.  Mind you that possibly could be Chinese knockoffs of
brandnames.  It has been known to happen.  Who around here would know for sure?

I'll stick to the local guy in town.  He seems to know and can find real
bargains on the REAL good stuff.  Sometimes he gets suckered but he learns from
those experiences.  He is trustworthy and worth any extra since that stuff can
go the distance and turns out to be the real bargain over the long haul.

Perhaps things are different in your part of the world but speaking on behalf
of this part of the world there is far too much crap and is readily identified
by who is selling and most often rebates these days which apparently are being
looked at as probable scams.

That is all I have to say about this particular issue.

Life is good,
Maurice
