Why? It seems backwards to use 1GiB instead of 1GB - most 1GB USB sticks
only hold 1GB, not 1GiB. And the whole point of this excursion was to
fit on 1GB USB sticks. Well, one of the points anyway.
Anyway, it still seems to me that these two statements are still true
a) 2GB sticks are not really more expensive than 1GB sticks
(see list archives for other people seconding this impression)
Not speaking for the whole world of course but here in Austria finding
a 1GB stick seems hard (only one listed on a big price comparison
site).
It costs 6.50 € while the cheapest 2GB costs 6.70 € ... so 1GB sticks
are basically dead here.
