Need: Old (Small) USB Key

Does anybody have an old eight megabyte or larger USB key/thumbdrive/Flash Drive that you want to get rid of (yes, that's all I need)? The floppy drive on a ZoneCD server I have setup is caput so I've moved the configuration information to a much more reliable USB Key. The problem is, all you can buy locally is 512 megabyte keys that are more expensive and all I really need is about one megabyte. Right now, my 512 meg key is there, and I'd really like to get it back.

Anybody have an old low capacity one that they got from a trade show or something that they just want to get rid of? Comment here using your email address and I'll get back to you.

Are you sure you haven't tried PHD? I got my 256 megger there for $18 just a couple of months ago.

Sure, Jake, I have a 2-3-year-old 256-meg Linksys I'd be happy to hand off (just bought the 4-Gig SanDisk Cruzer, I don't mind the U3 stuff like some purists;-)

Want to stop by the station and get it or what? I don't want to mail it - this would be an excuse to see ya!

I've got software to remove that U3 stuff, just FYI, Barn, and yeah, I might have to take you up on stopping by to get it. Sure do wish I had a 4gigger, cripes...

I'll email ya.

And Jesse, you should know by now I'm a cheap bastard ;-)

They have 64MB ones at our local Target for $5. They are pink, but they would work.

Buy.com has a 512mb drive for free after free shipping and a $27 rebate, if you feel like going through the hassle. Good through Jan. 27.
