Sep. 8th, 2004 10:19 amI just had a heart attack. I grabbed a freshly laundered pair of pants (nothing wrong with that at all LOL) a felt something in the pocket so I figured I forgot some receipts or maybe even some money and was going to get a surpise.
I got a surprise all right. It was my Lexar Media JumpDrive. Talk about freaking. Just for the hell of it, we plugged it into the USB port to see, if by some chance, it might still work and not screw up the computer.
Not only did it still work, but the data was still on it and completely accessible. Luckily, there wasn't anythying über important on it (I actually deleted everything anyway) but it made me happy that it still worked. Not that i would be out a lot of money if it didn't. I got it on clearance at Wal-mart to move documents between the home PC and my ancient laptop who's floppy drive died.
I thought that maybe it was sealed extra-well since it is supposed to be for a keyring but no, there is a decent size opening where the security switch is.
I can't believe this little piece of a computer, something that is supposed to be extremely sensitive to heat and moisture, got washed with detergent and dried, prolly twice as our dryer sucks floppy donkey cock.
Therefore, I will swear alliegance to Lexar Media's durability. I always find the weirdest ways to test the durability of my electronics. The last time it worked was when my Samsung cell phone got run over by a cab and still worked. The last time it didn't work was when my Palm VX fell into the toilet, killing it instantly.
