Last week, I wrote about a 4 gigabyte jump drive for sale for only $6.99. That sale ended. However, a new sale has taken its place and it is equally attractive. Staples is now selling 8 gigabyte jump drives for $14.99.
An 8 gigabyte jump drive will hold the equivalent of more than than 5,400 floppy disks or more data than 12 CD-ROM disks. Jump drives are also much more rugged than floppy disks or CD-ROM disks. Not bad for $14.99!
As I wrote last week, "These devices are great for short-term backups and for transporting data from one computer to another. Want to copy data from your desktop to the laptop computer? Use a jump drive. Want to copy data from your cousin's genealogy database and take it home with you? Use a jump drive."
You can find this special at http://tinyurl.com/yb7gqzm. Click on the "Check in Store Availability" link to see the jump drives are in stock in a Staples store near you. If not, you can order online and specify delivery to your nearest Staples store with free shipping.
My thanks to Margo B. for finding the latest sale.
