Having done that, I can assure you it's not (quite) true (anyway, they're
way too light to be good paperweights). If you don't format it correctly,
_Windows_ will treat it as a paperweight. HP provides a handy reformatting
tool on their website (google for HPUSBFW.exe) that seems to work to fix up
memory sticks, if you run into that problem. Been there, done that. :-)
