Who didn't send anything, just made a sales call, to you.

Sending it to University/College address is particularly pointless for distance learning students (most on mine are not even in this country!)

Unis will love that, especially if they just use the general University address and not the address of the department.

There aren't the only new company starting up for that:

Hard up students? There's nothing hard up about them - they spend all their money on clothes and partying.

And how do you know? Don't tar all students with the same brush. I'm sick of people thinking all I do is do a few doodles and get drunk.

16GB LOL. Only 10 years ago at university I used to carry all my work round on my trusty 3 and a half inch floppy.

Well actually I'm in need of a terabyte portable hard drive as I'm a digital design student (one file alone can be 16GB!). My 16GB memory stick is just for text files and or print work.

Yes, maybe that's why the teachers haven't yet received theirs? I wouldn't be surprised if no-one gets anything till much later in the year.

The embedded software sound a lot like the U3 devices from Sandisk but with added 'educational' bits. I found the U3 software quite intrusive so I wiped mine not long after I got it. YMMV. There is an open source alternative called Portable Apps that you can install on any USB stick (of course you still need a memstick to install it on first).

If you can't wait for your freebie, you can get a 2GB memstick from as little as £3.99 at Play.com but I am sure you could find cheaper or more GB for your £ if you look around. (If you are on iPoints, you can get an 8GB Sandisk stick for 2200 iPoints. :idea: If you are not on iPoints, PM me for a referral )
