Yesterday, I had a meeting at work with an outside company. There were about 5 us at the meeting. At the end of the meeting, the other company handed us pens and a flash drive! I love freebies, so I was pretty excited. Obviously we were being pitched something.

All I know the last time I purchased a flash drive about 2 years ago, I’m pretty sure I paid easily over $40 for 1 GB. Yesterday, I received half the capacity for less than half the price (free). How much are flash drives these days? The answer, pretty cheap. If anything the branded flash drive I got is even cheaper. The manufacturing is quite shoddy. It’s free, and I can’t seem to find my 1 GB flash drive, so I really shouldn’t complain. Though of course, I have to worry that this might trojan horse USB drive.   In the end I think the pen I got is probably a higher priced item than drive.   To think that USB Drive has about 4000 times more memory than my first computer.   We have come a long way.
