Older PC's with floppy drive are abundantly available to the average user. And I think you meant 4 Mbit are the smallest devices you are using (providing only 524288 bytes of raw capacity). Twelve dollars is the amount for flash chips, not a usable 'flash drive'. Those are still more expensive than a floppy drive.
