True. At my previous gig, we delivered training materials for both customer
training classes and internal sales seminars on jump drives. The nice thing
about a jump drive is that it isn't going to get thrown away. If a
salesperson is packing a suitcase to go home from a sales seminar and there
isn't enough room in a suitcase or briefcase, paper docs will probably get
left behind; not so with a jump drive.
