Uncontrollable sobbing, and DEATH

[technical.angel]

Everyone might think that Daskinor has it bad with the death of a server, but I had something die on me yesterday that's much more upsetting and detrimental to the organization than a single server dying...

My USB key DIED!!!

I plugged my baby into an infected laptop to download Malwarebytes and get the thing cleaned up, and the key opened up, I saw my files and then BAM! The screen closed down on my and as in a final breath, the pretty blue light on the key blinked out of existence.

I had made the techie's worst mistake. I had trusted in my darling red Verbatim. I had thought that it would live forever (or at least, you know, longer than a year..) so, of course, I didn't have backups of any of the information on it.... including my toolkit.

And, of course, I couldn't just have the one computer on my workstation, no I had to have ******4****** waiting for the ...... actually, not going to go there...

Waiting for healing from my precious memory key.

Now it is dead. Dead, worthless, gone to the great computer desk in the sky.

Please, everyone a moment of silence for my Verbatim 4gb memory key..

.......
........
..........

Thank you.

I'll spend today mourning, and then tomorrow, I'll be celebrating when my new 16gb !!!!!! key comes in!

wow, yours last a year? ive gone through 4 in the last year. (ok, the one i washed was my fault) but i use mine so much that i wear them out in a couple of months. its too bad we cant toss it in the freezer and try it tomorrow, ive been wondering if they would ever fix the limitations on the read/write abilities on those. QQ for the old one, w00t for the new shiny one. you might consider making a disk of your toolbox in cd/dvd format and keep that in your drawer as a failsafe.

Not on this board.

Had something like that, A bootable USB key, which fried on its first day out. Thankfully the warranty covered it, but they sent me a replacement 64gig instead of the 16 gig

No, no it's not. I have my own personal little rant on fratching about my opinion on it.

[Broomjockey]

No, no it's not.

Technically against site rules, too. Once in a while as a joke is fine, but no one wants to see it as a regular occurance.
