Don't Have a CD Drive?

Nowadays most new computers do not have a CD drive so in order to stay up with the times the PGSM is offering the option of ordering flash drives as well as CD's. Go to the Store to see which items have the flash drive option.

One of the benefits of being a PGSM member is the discount on selected items in the store. In order to receive the discount members must log in to the website.
