While folding my laundry just now, I discovered that I had washed and dried my USB thumb drive. I don't recommend doing this. Nonetheless, it still works.

Posted by: Brooke at March 28, 2004 12:45 PMThere was data on it, and it's still there! I don't want to wash it again, though: I've been thinking about what Kan said, and I've come to the conclusion that he's correct.

Posted by: kan at March 28, 2004 03:44 PMI remember someone saying "It's just a matter of time before my USB thumb drive goes through the washing machine..."
I'll tell them to stop worrying...

I've already washed my PDA stylus/pen.
