Re: [GSAS-Member] Ghazanfar's Cryptocoryne talk archive - now available

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I will add that if anyone would prefer to just bring a laptop, flash drive 
or memory stick to a meeting, I or someone else could copy directly onto 
the stick (time allowing).  There are some ridiculous prices on these 
things now -- Fry's has an 8GB stick for ten bucks this week.  Sheesh!
