It's got to be much easier to lose a memory stick than an entire computer. Or, to put that another way, much easier to not notice that you've lost a memory stick. Whether that be accident or theft. Considering the unreliability of memory sticks (due to read/write wear-out, easy physical damage to the stick, etc.), I still only consider them for their original selling point: Like a large temporary disc drive for playing sneakernet, or temporary secondary access to files away from where they're really stored. I certainly wouldn't use them as a back-up storage device, nor as a the only storage device for precious data. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.4-102.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 24 13:09:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
