As an aside it would be an occasion to try to see whether we couldn't test some kind
of USB boot ramdisk thing.

Hi all,

As more and more computers these days come without optical drives, we're thinking
about switching from ReactOS CD giveaways to USB flash drive giveaways on exhibitions
(like this month's FOSDEM). ReactOS would then come preinstalled in a VM on these
drives. When ReactOS' USB support gets better, we may even think about making these
drives bootable.

Now the prices for 1GB USB drives haven't quite reached the costs of blank CDs yet.
Also many countries put a high fee on USB drives, because you will for sure always use
them to pirate copyrighted work... For example, we're talking about a fee of 1€/unit
here in Germany. Germany is fair enough though to not apply the fee if you're ordering
from outside Germany. Maybe this also works the other way round, i.e. we as ReactOS
Deutschland e.V. order USB drives from another European country and don't have to pay
this fee.

Sooo, who of you knows a good supplier in your (European) country for bulk ordering USB
drives with the best per-unit price? Even better if your supplier can print a custom logo
on these drives.
Depending on the price, we're talking about 50-200 drives here.

Thanks for your help in making a great ReactOS presentation at exhibitions!
