Unfortunately, we don't live in a world that can be isolated from others. Global conditions do affect us. The latest are the Tsunami and effects in Japan. Japan makes most of the memory for USB devices so we are already seeing increased pricing and sold out situations on some of these items. Additionally, it may be hard to get some promotional items manufactured in other parts of Asia here to the US. This is because quite a few containers and container ships were left adrift after the disaster. I saw one photo of containers that remined me of uprooted trailer parks after a tornado!
All I can say is, plan ahead!
Another thing I can say is, BUY AMERICAN!
