I bought a 2GB Imation from the post office last week ($15). I could only
get it properly recognised about once in every 10 times I plugged it into
an XP laptop so I took it back. I didn't like it anyway, it didn't have a
LED so I couldn't gauge activity. Took about 30 mins to finally walk out
of the post office with my $15 refund. (Initially I got: "Sorry, we can
only return these to our supplier if they don't work at all.")
I went to Betta Electrical and got a 2G SanDisk for $16; they had 8G
advertised for $47.
