Well, Paint My Ass Purple, and Call Me Shirley

OK, so I lost a memory stick that I've had for about 1¼years, Sandisk USB 2 Micro Cruzer 1Gb Pendrive U3.

It's no big deal, really. I had all the data elsewhere, so I pick up a new drive, the 4GB variant for about $12 at the Radio Shack^®, which is a lot cheaper than the $50 or so that I recall paying for the 1GB version.

Wouldn't you know it, the next day, I find my old drive.

Actually, I didn't find it, Sharon^* did, in the dryer.

It had gone through the wash, AND the dryer, and it looked little worse for the wear. The printing on the case was a bit worn, but that could have happened over the past 15 months sitting in my pocket.

So, I leave it out and open for a day to ensure full drying, and I put it in my computer, and ALL THE DATA IS THERE.

Needless to say, this product has my seal of approval.
