1. I don't know exactly why, but that made me chuckle a little.
Thumb drives. Apparently protesting has changed since my days in the 1960s. How odd.

2. How can I contact them?
I am heading that way tomorrow, and have a few flash drives handy that they can have. It's time to clean out the gadget drawer anyway.

I've got a bunch of 4G's and maybe a 8G that they can have.

13. Perfect.
I will ask my BIL who probably has tons to donate a few. I'll go over there on Thursday, if weather permits - if not, then next week for sure.

Liberty Plaza. Gotcha.

11. I personally found them the neatest thing since sliced bread.
We use them a lot here at the house for sharing movies and music and etc.
Plus backup storage of vital info.
Now I have no idea how I lived without a bunch of these.
