[nwbcc] Cheap USB drives

[John Case]

Just purchased a 2 GB USB drive (Dane Electric) from 7dayshop for  
£9.99 plus P&P.

It works fine for loading and transferring pictures, but executable  
slide shows (10 shows, 860 MB) took one hour to load and each show  
took about a minute to start playing after double clicking. Not long,  
one might say, but can seem like an eternity when you have an  
audience waiting for something to happen!

The quality was excellent and the sequences played without any  
problems, but I think I will stick to CD's for audio visual  
presentations.

My only other criticism is that the thing is so incredibly small it  
can easily get lost!!
