New cap for Crucial memory stick?

[Ruggerbugger]

I've lost the cap for my Crucial 1GB Gizmo memory stick. Can I get a new one from anywhere? I really don't want to ditch this stick, it's by far the best form factor I've seen so far.

Best bet is to email Crucial or just to sxan ebay for broken "Gizmo" drives going cheap

Apparently I'm getting a silver one as they don't sell the all white one I have anymore. I wonder if they'll forget to take the sliver drive off the end

I've always wondered why they don't supply a stick with a small chain that attaches the lid to the body. Or a PEZ type array whereby you push the button thing at the back and the head lifts up and booyaka! there's the USB bit.

I will warn that Spam is best left in the can when posting and it's a good idea to encase the spam tin in coffee and make the postman cross a stream to confuse the dogs that may be lurking (especially lurkers) on his round . Tip - don't post spam when it's very hot and the Royal Mail are on strike.

I once won a Fray Bentos steak & kidney pie when I was 11, from a raffle at school. We didn't eat it so in my 5th year (aged 16) they asked us for items for that years raffle. I donated the pie.*
It's ok, your average Fray Bentos steak & kidney pie has a half life of about two centuries.**

I have a small (128MB) gizmo, but i also bought a 2GB sandisk cruzer, which has a retractable usb plug. So it doesn't have a cap to lose, but i prefer my gizmo, it's so much sturdier. My cruzer feels really cheap, although it's much lighter and smaller.

They could also make it so the cap fits on the back end of the stick, like a pen does.
So you don't have to just put the cap on your desk, then forget about it
