There are just SO many things you can do to flash storage to NOT destroy the data, ha ha :) So Larry, did it take a full wash cycle? Dry cycle? Hot water or cold? Is the thumby a brand name, outdoorsy model, or what?? :)
Reminds me about people washing keyboards in the dishwasher... I've heard a quick cycle and a nice careful drying works okay for many keyboards... too much and the pc board absorbs too much water, just like particle board... yech. Anyway run an iPhone through the wash yet? As I understand it, they deserve it!! ben On Dec 4, 2007 3:46 PM, Darrough, James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Larry, "ccleaner" will do that WITHOUT the water! > > Hah hah. > > > Regards, Jim > > Ps: Merry Christmas > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of larry price > Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 3:27 PM > To: Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group > Subject: [Eug-lug] on the durability of certain items > > this seems to be my week to abuse hardware > > I just tested the ability of a usb key to survive a run through the washer. > > It survived, data intact.
