[plug] Memory prices.

[Richard Meyer]

Hi all,

Late Friday observation ..... 

This may be somewhat off-topic, but doesn't it seem that memory prices
are ridiculously low?

I point to
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BRAND-NEW-MINI-DRIVE-8GB-MEMORY-USB2-0-FLASH-DISK_W0QQitemZ260039065405QQihZ016QQcategoryZ167QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
which is, unfortunately still going, but had reached $150 for an 8GB USB
drive .....

and also

Where you can get a 2GB USB drive for under $50 - 

Am I insane or something .. ? 

In July I paid just over over $100/GB for Crucial memory for my desktop
machine, and now ....
