    From Davey@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 7 00:27:37 2015
    I have just noticed the prices of CPC's thumbdrives in their current
    catalogue: 64GB (USB 2.0) for < £15. Imagine seeing that a couple of
    years ago; that's much bigger than an early Hard Disk, which was 20
    MB for my 1985 Heathkit PC. Since USB 2.0 is the fastest I have
    available, I might just get one. It will be used for daily incremental
    backup.
    Free shipping, too.

    And also includes shipping. Yikes! At this rate, it will be as cheap as
    an external HDD.

    I get e-mails from 7day shop, but they usually showcase things that I
    have no desire for, whereas CPC's seem to be better aimed at me. Must
    be due to my use of Ghostery!
