I was just flipping through the Circuit City booklet thing and a certain price caught my eye: $9.99, for a 512MB USB stick! Sometime in December 2003, I bought my first stick after a teacher showed everyone his. That was a 256MB for $69.99 (on sale). How these things have dropped in price! It's amazaing! I love them! USB > everything. :D

It's not even worth making the 128MB ones anymore, they'd be too damn cheap and unnecessary. I still remember those zip disk things that held 100 or 200MB. How times have changed since Windows 3.1...which I barely remember being about 5 when '95 came out. I feel old...

I post this in the hopes of being listed before the OP.

EDIT: SCORE! :cool:

Oh yeah ... the topic ... I remember the days when they were really expensive ... my 128 MB drive cost $100.

ROFL. It's the best when that happens...

*flaunts his massive stick*

Meh.

*emails himself things to avoid having to bother with peripherals*

I bought a high-grade 1 GB one the other day for €19.99 (US$25).

You can buy cheapies for half on eBay, new.

Go to newegg, Kingston has 1GB USB drives for ~$13.

13.99 to be exact. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820189035)

Which reminds me, I want that one because I want a U3 flash drive for independent virus and spyware scanning programs.

I got a 1GB one a few months ago for $50. I think you just got ripped off. :p

Hell, the other week I could buy a 1GB SD for £10. Result. (I didn't, though)

How the hell...

Jolt has really been messing up tonight... more than usual.

There are a bunch of threads where the OP is, like, 2 or 5 posts down...

Kids today... I remember when we used to buy C120 cassette tapes because you could get about 200k on them.

There are two semi-seperate servers, I believe, and the time on them sometimes gets out of sync.

Yes. It's exactly what you're thinking. I'm just that good.

Meh.

*emails himself things to avoid having to bother with peripherals*

*does the same*

*continues flaunting*

Pfft, I paid somewhere between $60 and $100 for a 32MB SD card. I forget actually.

Holy crap, where did you guys all come from? :eek:


I think from now on I'll edit a caption into each of my posts:

"At the time of posting this was post #3"



ETA: At the time of posting, this was post #18. :p

Kids today... I remember when we used to buy C120 cassette tapes because you could get about 200k on them.

And the program you wanted was always towards the end and, as usual, didn't remember to write down the counter number.

ETA: So totally post #29.

Foiled! :cool:

Eeep, for a second there I hadn't seen that there was another page you pushed me to and thought you had actually deleted and overwritten my post! :o

Evil moderator puppet! :eek: :p

Yeah, around here you can get a gig for 30 bucks when it's not on sale.

Oh?

this thread think's its a fun house

Newegg and Tiger Direct > stores. Except Fry's. Fry's is good too. I'd almost move to Washington for Fry's. Though Circuit City is usually decent for networking.

I bought a 1 gb USB drive last year for 30 something at walmart :D

That's what we get for all their funky features no one uses...

Which reminds me, I want that one because I want a U3 flash drive for independent virus and spyware scanning programs.

I got one of those for Christmas, they're great.

Yeah, I'm really just posting here to see if last night's scrambling fun is still going on. Sue me. :p

ETA: #40. And nothing got scrambled so far. :(

Ah, yes. I remember those days. Right after I put together my Altair 8800, I started trying to figure out what I could do with it.
