    Hello all.

    Will be up in Dublin next week for the Green Day gig. And i've been meaning to invest in a USB Pen.. been using my iPod / Ngage up until now! :D

    Where'd be the cheapest place around the city to get a USB Pen Drive? Not looking for huge storage space on it.. between 16MB and 128MB will do me fine! Do Peats or Maplins have any sales on right now i should know about? :D

    Thanks in advance.

    I got a 256MB pen drive for €35 in Peats a couple of weeks before Christmas - they were behind the counter at the back of the shop, not out on display, so you'll probably have to ask for one.

    This is the product. (prices exclude VAT - 128MB model is ~€20)

    Cheers for that.. saw that alright on the Peats site! Will check it out next week.

    People give Peats a lot of sh*te. Think they're pretty good, to be honest!

    Was looking for an Optical Mouse for the laptop. Got a Creative Optical Mouse in there for €17. And checked up on it on their site.. and it was advertised there for €39 (http://www.peats.ie/cgi-bin/shop/db.cgi?view=1&id=7161&type=6&sid=970285x0). Don't know whether it was in a sale or just sheer incompetence on their part. :D

    Thanks again!

    if things are that desperate then phone them up , if they like the sound of your voice you could be heading out to Leixlip on 67 bus.

    Do people explain things like that to you a lot? I think they may be trying to tell you something my friend. I've emboldened the bit I'm referring to so you don't get confused.
