    What do BYU, Univeristy of Vermont, Texas Tech and Ohio State all have in common? Well, they're all higher education institutions of course. But in addition, these schools and more than 100 others now have their own officially branded USB flash drives.

    Flash drives have become a handy if not essential accessory for those of us with multiple PCs that want to move files around easily and quickly. Flash drives come in especially handy for college students needing to easily transport files.And since we alllove our school of attendance or alma mater, why not express your supportwith these new officially licensed college branded flash drives from PNY Technologies? The flash drives are available in 256MB and 512MB storage amounts. 256MB Drives cost $30 and are available now through Staples.com or your local college bookstore.

    i think theres like 130 schools so far available, so its not like its just those few shown there. luckily i go to ohio state and we are so gigantic we have lots of custom stuff already available (like unofficial usb drives, but these are way better). watch out though, cause on PNY's site the 512MB size is 44.99 but from other stores like Compusa they are 59.99. i dont want to have to order one online but for 15 bucks less i might as well since i cant find anything other than 256s (except from compusa).
