Don't worry... I'm not going to test it.

I just heard a story where someone washed it with the laundry and it came out fine.

I've had many USB sticks over the past six years, but the only one I haven't lost or broken is a six-year old 128mb stick that isn't even compatible with half the computers I encounter.
I just can't lose it. It is cursed.

Clean it with magma.
It's invincible.
A bus ran it over and IT WAS STILL ALIVE.
I think it can hear my thoughts.

Sell it to NASA. They might find a use for it. As the flight recorder for the next space shuttle. Maybe that'll kill it.

Must've gotten between the treads or something. A truck weighs well over the required pressure to kill one of these buggers.

It will explode the shuttle then land on me. It's cursed, I tells ye!

Kingston DataTraveler

I won it at a school contest. It only has 1gig on it, though. My friend one-upped me by buying the same type. Except his has 8gigs and it was 40+$...

I'm going to buy a new one from Imation... a 8 Gb stick with a read only lock.

My current stick has been infected with too many lame virus (job requires me to stick in it machines I have no control of). It's easy to clean, since all computers I use have autorun disabled for all devices and those virus are the lame ones (using autorun to spread), but it gets annoying doing it over and over again.

Cool.  I had a similar problem... But I fixed it enabling an autoscan (at work and at home) that searches my pen whenever I stick it. 

oh, If you need to TAKE info you'll still have the same problem...
