Yeah, the USB pens would be more reliable than the old fashioned floppies.

I sell the USB pens to our boys, but only at the price I buy them in. Our problem is that they constantly leave them at their tail ends and other less friendly ones pocket them.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realise that what you heard me say was not what I meant.

How much do you buy them in for?

Yeh



I'd be interested if anyone can get them any cheaper too.  Our girls tend to like the ones with a keyring that way they're always with them on their keys and less chance of loosing them, mind you same applies for the teachers.



 :idea: Heh may we could do a deal with a company if we all agreed to buy x amount each they would do us all a deal.  I'll check out my best price so far and get back to yous later.

What size did you get for £10?  Datapac would be out main suppliers and I'll have to kick ass if they don't give us all the same deal :twisted:
