Well worth it so.And do they care if your 2nd year?

Red Alert

Presumably not if they don't know

That ''course'' is pointless, just played curveball for the 20 minutes. The 1GB USB stick is good though

Is it like last year where you basically had to show up and they didn't check what year you were in or even if you were in UCD? 'Cos I've got a hankerin' for a nice new memory stick...

I'm thinking along the same lines - the old mature student look!

God no, I'm in third year and got 5 of the things today. Was trying to get a couple of things sorted around campus and had to check my e-mail every so often, so I went to Daedalus, because I knew the place was full of computers with the IT induction and whatnot, so went in and messed around on bebo or whatever while they showed the video, then collected my memory stick at the end. The last time I went in, at about 4 this afternoon, everyone was just on bebo the whole time and just seemed to be there to get the free sticks, no one was paying ny attention to the video.

I'm in there now. In 3 years I've now done this thing 6 times. I've got 3 1GB cards now

I did it... the course itself was so boring, nearly fell asleep. The chair was pretty comfy. But the memory stick was worth it. It's so much cooler than one I saw in the shop for €25.

I was gonna go but i'm feeling lazy. Plus there's nobody down there. Campus is rather quiet today.

The site says they keep running during the term. I just hope that the free memory keys keep going as well for when I'm there.

I'm going to do it on Monday so long as the free stick is there - 1 gig for nothing! And to think I was planning on shelling out for one of those

Thomas_S_Hunterson

Yea I got my second, although I really don't think it was worth it, suffering there in the blistering heat.

Those memory keys are pretty useful. I've got my 1GB memory key backing up all my files. I could use another key. I'll see if I can get another one on Monday as I gave my other two 1GB keys to my cousin.

i think they are finished now
