  MSY have a Kingston model for $37… good price on the MP3 player though.

    +1 … The Kingston drive isn't a bargain
    I'd rather drive to MSY and pick one up for $37
    (and I can preorder to ensure they have sufficient stock)

    Or anyPC has free shipping at $37.99

      MSY may not have a great reputation in other states, but I'd buy from them over Austin any day.

  The mp3 came free last weekend with purchase of an LCD…I couldn't even sell this to another human being for 1cent without feeling guilty.

  I bought one of these a while back and regretted it, the Kingston Data Traveler line is not Linux compatible! (Works OK in Windows though.)

    … Are you serious? If it works in windows, it'll work in linux. It might be formatted with NTFS, in which case, if you don't have the ntfs-3g driver installed, linux won't be able to read it.

      Unfortunately I am serious. It is well documented try googling it. In summary the transfer slowly grinds to a halt or aborts with errors when writing large (ie 700 MB) files. The linux kernel gurus seem to think it's a timing issue between the linux driver and the chip in the data traveler. No fix yet.
