Product Endorsement
No, no one is offering money for me to wear athletic shoes — or loafers, for that matter. I want to recommend the SanDisk Cruzer, a USB flash memory unit. It's slightly smaller than a pack a gum, which means I keep losing it. Usually it turns up next to the driver's seat, in the wrong pants, under the sofa cushions, etc. This time it reappeared in the clothes dryer, having been subjected to the permanent press wash cycle and the low heat setting of the washer. I brought it upstairs, plugged it in, and was able to access my files. Great!
It wasn't until later that I realized it had shrunk from 256 Mb to 128 Mb. <rimshot> Next time, cold water wash, hang to dry.
