"At most colleges and universities, notebook PC's have become a necessity for students, faculty and alumni professionals," said John Orzepowski, marketing manager for flash media, digital entertainment and flash drives for PNY Technologies. "With a PNY Collegiate Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive, notebook PC's equipped with USB ports enable users on the move to transfer and store large files more quickly and easily. The portable storage devices deliver an improved data storage solution compared to traditional floppy drives and provide a simple way to save, transport and export data, photographs, images, music, games and more. He added, "Plus, the drives are ideal for students who are on a strict college budget, since they can be used and reused throughout their academic career." Initially, PNY's Collegiate Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drives will be available in a 256MB capacity, which holds more data than 90 floppy disks. The drives eliminate the inconvenience of lugging around countless floppy disks or CDs, and can be simply carried on a key chain, backpack or briefcase. Standard accessories include a USB cable, key ring and lanyard. Future applications for Collegiate Attache drives include logo-customization for collegiate sports, bowl games and athletic conferences. "Based in PNY's Parsippany, New Jersey headquarters, our BTO program provides a unique resource for organizations to license customized USB flash drives," said Anthony Gomez, vice president of sales and marketing for PNY Technologies. "Typically, licensing organizations require established distribution channels, royalty-fee tracking and high-end reporting capabilities. PNY's strong in-house logistics and operational competencies position us to serve the academic community's sophisticated licensing requirements, so colleges and universities can take full advantage of our BTO program offerings."
