I'm contemplating a GMC Swiss Army Knife of portable information on a GMC
Motorhome shaped 4 gig flash drive. This drive would include much of the
technical information available freely on my web site. It would have a menu
system similar to what is available online.
The great thing is that it's shape and design would tip you off to what is
contains. It would be updateable and have plenty of room to spare for
additional files you find handy while away from internet access. Might be
especially handy when trouble strikes on the road for you to be able to show
a mechanic a particular manual or diagram about your GMC.
These things would cost $30. I'd have to have deposits for at least 80 of
them before I could get the ball rolling on it.

I'd buy one...
But more capacity would be preferred. And more memory ought not make it significantly more expensive - correct ??
And if it had enough memory to hold a music collection - it sure would be a nice "insert" to an in dash reciever...

I'm interested, even though i already have all the info on a DVD. The GMC format makes it a cute collectable item worth the money. Having both a disc and a memory stick guarantees that l will have the info when i need it in the event that i loose one or loan it out.
Will you be able to offer them in more than one colour?

Well, It is cute. I do not know how much space you need but I carry a 64 gig one around. I like it because I can leave it in the coach glove compartment and it's design will let you know at first sight what is on it.
You only need to use it once to cover the cost.

Could not follow link to picture so this may be a moot suggestion but maybe have an eyelet for a keychain and the flash drive will always be with the coach keys.

Does it have provision to hang it on a hook for storage, so I can find
it?
Thanks
