And connect disconnect cycles unfortunately... The problem is that the usb connector on these devices can only handle a certain amount of physical plug and unplugs before it breaks down. This has nothing to do with the flash memory inside, but with the physics of the design of the flash stick. Nice thing, as with CD, if you look after it, and take care to insert it properly and without "hunting" for the usb socket, it will last much longer. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
