Hooray for Solid-State
August 20th, 2008
Sachi heard a weird sound in the dryer, and discovered why she must check my pockets before doing my laundry: there was an ink pen and a USB flash memory stick in the pockets. Miraculously, the ink pen did not leak in the wash (must have been the tight cap), but we both figured that the USB flash stick, my 1-year-old 1GB Kingston “Data Traveler,” was toast.
Nope. Still works perfectly. There’s a lot to be said for solid-state technology.
