Drive needs to be 8gb+ and I didn't see too much variety on newegg or amazon. Anyone know if a cool looking one? It needs to be a low profile one because her laptop has 2 USB slots stacked and 1 uses her wireless mouse slot.

Cool and green? Hand her a $20 bill and a list of potential options from Amazon. :)

It's been my experience that average people _can_ make their own technology choices once you've whittled down the field a bit.

Maybe this: PQI i261? (It folds out like a switchblade)

That's the UK site, but I've seen them on eBay too.



Or this: PQI i178 -- http://m e r i t l i n e .com/pqi-i178-8gb-usb-flash-drive-green.html
(sorry about the filter -- I assume they were caught spamming their website)

The Lexar Jumpdrive Firefly at 8GB for $25 is a ganga deal. I carry one on my car keys all the time.

BTW - what makes a flash drive "green?" Are they biodegradable?

Also, don't let stacked USB ports get in your way - use a 6-in extension cable. I carry two in my laptop case all the time.
