I accidentally left a compact flash card in my pocket and it went through the washer and dryer. When I found it in my clean jeans I was Horrified.
I plugged it in to my braille note anyway and, much to my surprise, it worked just fine. All my files were intact. I had some MP3 files on it and the played like nothing had happened to the card. My word files were perfect too. It has been about 6 months now and I still use this card everyday.
