Clarification: Some people have asked why you need a 8GB USB. If you haven't purchased it already, you can wait for it to go on sale and buy it later on in the year and just bring a smaller one for now. The reason we need 8GB is because later on, when we work with iMovie and Garageband --- those files are extremely large!
