1.	Solve : 1GB Kingston Flash Drive for Under a Buck?
Answer» I can't say, if it still works, but... http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,139088/article.html?tk=nl_sbxcol Quote That's right. You can get a Kingston 1GB USB flash drive from Buy.com for under a buck--or depending on where you live, absolutely free. (As I write this newsletter, the drive's still AVAILABLE. But your mileage may vary.) My buddy, Suzanne M., spotted this gem in one of her freebie group newsletters last week. She bought one and paid 92 cents (Tennessee tax). I got mine for 72 cents (California tax). In fact, I got two. And listen, if you don't move on this--like right now--you're going to miss out. You just know they're going to run out quickly and I don't want to hear your kvetching. Here's the scoop: 1. Head for Buy.com. 2. Add one Kingston flash drive to your cart. 3. At the Checkout page, click on the Google checkout option to get the $10 discount. 4. Make sure you choose budget shipping--which is free. Looks valid, but the stock ran out :/ Yes, they did run out. However, they got it back in stock. I ordered mine on the 19th and it's on it's way to me. Darn it - Buy.com won't ship to my locale...
