I only need a tenth of that, an 18G Intel for $16, reasonably within
comparative USB flashstick pricings and sales, including Intel's SSD,
for approximately-sized 40G drives I've seen as low as $30. After
usual rebate process, in course and of sorts, dependent on taxes, when
applicable, and a latitude for discretion optionally exercised over
shipping by some and when charged. But, if there's one thing I'm
pretty sure is constant, I couldn't conceivably need 9G, so I probably
shouldn't hold my breath as my number could be up any day now;- Mummy
Chunk I'm sure will advise me were that to change.
