Techboggles Deal of the Day today is another variation on a theme, this time 4GB of space for hundred of essays, or lecture notes to last you till doomsday and addresses galore. Sure beats the old fashioned schoolbag/satchel.

Then again, if you take a clunker Dell laptop to school, it weighs in just as heavy as a few books.

Techboggle's Deal of the Day is some more thumb-size storage. But looking at its sleek lines and toggle on the end, the USB drive could also double as some understated bling hanging from a chain round your neck.

Techboggle's latest deal of the day is a 1GB thumb drive thingy for under $16. Storage capacity and pricing is getting mad, but this gadget which appears on Darwin's birthday, I believe, proves that computer users' thumb devices really do separate them from the rest of the animal kingdom.
