click "Get yours", login, and fill out the stuffs. no idea how big it is, i wouldn't expect much over 32mb (which is the same size as my last free microsoft thumbdrive, which is 3 years old...) still, it's free and looks pretty sexy edit: i'm pinning this for 2 weeks (starting March 1st). get yours peoples!

Neato, I signed up for one. I already have a USB drive (512 MB), but can you ever have too many?

(okay that one stays in my backpack.) I'm wondering what to do with a fourth. If it's bigger than the 32mb, it'll replace that. I know for a fact it's not gonna be bigger than the 256mb. edit: i know, i'll make one of them into a bootable XP r00t cracker

I may use the free one for portable firefox and keep using my 512 for research stuff (backed up to my home hard drive).

Is it only 32 mb? My friend sent this to me too and he keeps telling me it's a 512 mb one.

i have no idea, but considering a 512mb drive runs about 40 bucks or so, and a 32 meg drive costs pretty much nothing (good luck even finding them), my guess would be 32.
512 would be BITCHIN though. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.
