Busted my 128 gig thumb drive yesterday.

It was almost in two pieces - the lap top fell on it when I accidentally knocked it over but with patience and coaxing I managed to get the last week of work off of it since the last back up.

It's amazing what one can get on one of those little things; years of work; and it's so damned fragile.

Over the years, I've left a few in libraries, and thus fortunately, got in the habit of regular back ups.

Sad though, and a little frightening.
