WTB: 1GB flash drive

[Calibretto]

2.0 capabilities prefered. Don't care if it's used or not. Won't pay more than $30 including shipping.

google it...

ah sweet. I searched on pricewatch but cheapest I found was like 40.

The only place you'll find something that cheap is on ebay http://computers.listings.ebay.com/...QsacatZ99247QQsbrsrtZdQQsocmdZListingItemList
even then, it will be a stretch to find it for that, with shipping included.

There's already been a link posted for less (new)... ^^^

With rebates. Rebates are nothing but a pain.
I have done many rebates, but when it comes down to like $5, the rebate isn't worth it.
And btw, with shipping, it won't be. http://www.buy.com/corp/support/shipping/tables.asp?what=much It will be like at least $32

Portable OS? Well it sure wouldnt be windows, the windows folder alone (xp) takes up more than 2 gb. Add all the programs that I have, and you end up having around 15GB. Now Linux you could do, but not a lot of programs

Compusa definitely has the cheapest prices for an actual store that I have ever seen, and I happen to live almost right next to one.

well Compusa just had a 2GB drive for $30, which IMO is a much better deal and Office Depot is really for office furniture and supplies and such, whereas Compusa is for, you guessed it, computers.

can't, the sale was a while ago and even so, you have to be there at like 5am, those things fly off the shelves so fast, and they are clearance, so no restocking (at least not at that price)
