Well, maybe I am bored, but I saw this usb flash drive and couldn't believe it is available. 64 GB of space. And it is not an oversize drive. It is a USB 2.0 flash drive, very small. The price is ridiculous, just shows how the world of computing works and how much we get ripped off on new technology that they probably had ready to go years ago:

I think 16 GB Nanos are realistic and will come soon. Jobs said he is committed to flash memory.

Just like he used to say that he was committed to the PowerPC processor?

Wow! It holds 17 DVD's worth of data!

64GB Flash drive = $4000
17 blank DVDs = heck if I know, but I know you can get a pack of 50 for $30 at Office Depot. That's about 60 cents per DVD.

So, $4000 or about $10 for 17 DVDs and a little more 'bulk.' The choice is yours.
