| 1151751 | 2010-11-10 04:52:00 | Hmm, I like the look of those - does the exposed USB port seem to hold together OK?There are no exposed ports. A few pictures ( rough as guts) showing its size,and the port. in my Hand (www.imagef1.net.nz(Large).JPG) -- on a CD for size (www.imagef1.net.nz(Large)1289364612.jpg) - The actual Port - made of Plastic (www.imagef1.net.nz(Large).JPG) -- in a Hub (www.imagef1.net.nz(Large).JPG). If its attached to a PC in the back ports, it gets lost in the wiring :lol: |

| 1151753 | 2010-11-10 05:54:00 | I have seen drives very similar to this one (www.gadgetfolder.com) - but thats getting to small -- Damn things are easy enough to lose now :rolleyes: | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1151754 | 2010-11-10 06:43:00 | Heh, I suspect a lot of USB drives left in pockets will end up going through the wash with the rest of the laundry. Anybody had any experience of that? Did it kill the drive or was it adequately sealed? |

| 1151755 | 2010-11-10 06:51:00 | I don't think any of them are sealed against water but I doubt it would matter As long as you clean off any soap residue and dry it out before plugging it in it should work just fine. |

| 1151756 | 2010-11-10 06:59:00 | Guilty :blush: 4 times through the washing machine over two years - then it finally died - almost - stops intermittently. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1151757 | 2010-11-10 07:33:00 | Yep - left the floppy in the computer so when I tried booting up the next day the computer looked at the "a" drive first and found a disk there but no instructions about booting up so just sat there. I had forgotten about this possible snag, and I bet lots of you out there have also. Which is why I decided to write this little lot to remind us all that this can and still does happen. Removing the disk cured the problem. Tom Yesterday I had taken the bootable USB flash out of my new MSI Wind but forgot about the other one and thought my whole dual boot system had gone haywire. |

| 1151759 | 2010-11-10 08:01:00 | Simple really. I had discovered an old 3.5 floppy and looked at it (shows how old my desktop is!). It was a good program about the solar system and well worth keeping - glad I had found it and I copied it onto a CD. Wasn't 'Orbit of the Planets' was it? Great program and I still have it. The "Solar System Shuffle" game was good fun for kids and quite difficult for adults. The program had hidden depths for something that fitted on one floppy. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
