OK I thought I had done it. I accidentally washed one of my 128meg memory sticks after leaving it in my pants pocket. I went to empty the washer and there at the bottom, low and behold, a dripping wet memeory stick. I was rather angry with myself to say the least. The expletives were a flyin'! I put it in my desk above my computer (warmest place in the house out of the sunlight) to dry out. That was Monday. I just put it in my card reader and it worked! The formating was still there and all! The stick is actually an after market by LEXAR but the fact is it works! I am truely amazed. Lets see someone do THAT with film! Magick Michael
