Windows Phone Thoughts: SD Cards: Washable Too!

Back in January, I was rushing around one morning changing cases from one to another and in the shuffle, 2 SD cards went missing. Since then I searched every inch of my house, vehicle, office, and yard for them, but to no avail. However, this weekend fortune smiled on me - sorta.

While driving into Cleveland to do a server restore, my fiancé Karey called me to tell me she had some good news and some bad news. The good news - she found my two SD cards. The bad news? They were in the washer. Washed. But the contacts were very clean! When I got home I popped them into my PPC and they worked rather nicely. I don't know how long they were in the washer unnoticed, going through cycle after cycle, but it's nice to know that they held up. So on this Monday to offset the drag of work, post your best stories of hardware mishaps - Good or bad ending.

And to finish, here's one last note to ponder. While tearing down an old system, my friend Tony and I were reading the jumper settings on an old CD-ROM drive. We're still puzzled over the two jumpers we were informed should be off ;)
