Ohh, these entrepenuers... have no clue what something does, just sees 'the money'.

Hell to any retard buys this crap.

Whats next? the Gold encrusted IPOD? Seriously, these people need to understand the PURPOSE of the Flash Stick. You put data on it. Now if you cover it with gaudy gold plating, I doubt it will leave it's case. 3.5Grand, give me a break.
