Better yet, if you can get academic pricing, you can get a 1GB iPod Nano (stores and displays pictures as well as music) for $129. And, yes, I use my nano as a sneaker net at work all the time. Only disadvantage to the nano is that it requires a separate cable which might be a hassle for your son--I just keep a spare in my desk.

Further to the tangent.

At the beginning of the year my son's teacher recently requested that I purchase a USB thumbdrive so that my son could easily transfer files to the class computer for printing - he takes a G3 PB to school, the class computer is windoz. I personally thought just unplugging the USB printer cable and plugging it into the PB would be a very reasonable idea but for 'reasons' the USB thumbdrive was what the teacher wanted. So, not having bought one before I logged onto my Mac User Group forum and asked for recommendations.

The first response I got back was to buy and iPod Shuffle. At first I
thought it was a joke, until I did some further investigations:

Iomega 1GB Thumbdrive = US99
iPod Shuffle 1GB = US99

The Iomega does nothing but store data!

So now we all now that an iPod can store data - but in case you didn't know,
an Iomega Thumbdrive can't play music;-)
