Oooh, I thought, wandering through the local Cartridge World store a few weeks back - I can pick up a 1GB USB Flash for a tenner. That's really good value!
Of course, I'd completely forgotten that prices drop incredibly quickly in the world of computing. So when I realised I was going to have to compromise on a solution for carrying my settings around with me I went and checked prices for sticks. And discovered that I could pick up a name-brand 4GB stick for £11.32.
Note to self - never buy hardware in a shop unless there's a damn good reason to think you might have to take it back.
