On Computers

USB flash drives are so cheap now that companies give them out as promotional gifts, they way they used to hand out pens and cigarette lighters. Plug them into the computer’s USB port

and they show off the company’s products and/or special offers, etc. But if you want to hand out lots of them, you need a duplicator. We found a unit at DiscMakers.com that sells an $1100 unit called ReflexFlash 11 that will copy 11 flash drives at once. Transfer rate is about 10 megabytes a second, so a four gigabyte drive would fill up in about seven minutes.
