I hear ya, but after a while you can have Too Many Flashdrives.


But here is the point. The Flashdrive is actually free since the $139 is the same for the 2011 - 2012 upgrade with or without it. The only savings is shippng ($15) (..am I being petty to even suggest that the download should be reduced a bit since there is no HD?).

This year I opted to save the shipping. Just don't even want to store another BIAB HD - I have 2010 and 2011 HD's) and a host of other options for backing up files and giging.

The download time was actually no impact as once the download manager is installed and running the 6 - 8 hours of download was done while I slept.
