USB flash drives with write-protect switch

[Stern]

Hi, I'm looking for a good xmas present for a friend of mine in uni who wants to be able to hook up their USB stick to the uni PCs and print stuff from it without having to worry about the hordes of virii doing crap to their FYP which is stored on it. I was going to get them a USB stick with a switch on it to "lock" the data to make it read only, I have a small 128MB one of these, but this is a bit too small. I had a look on the websites I usually buy hardware from and I can't seem to find anywhere that mentions this as a feature. Is there some obscure name for this, or does anyone know of any particular brand that always has this?

I'm looking for a stick in the 4GB+ range.

Thanks all!

There are not many. Here is one (Kingwin) from Taiwan that has a switch:
