[ale] OT: USB Storage for Knoppix

[Jeff Layton]

Dow,

   Well, BestBuy has them for $199 with a $10 rebate. Back ordered
though (the North Point one may have them). Otherwise, I used
foogle? (from the google main page) to search for them. eCost,
PCMall, etc. have them. All less than $200. Not bad.
