Here is something I wrote on my blog back in February 2005, and I still use my Lexar 1 GB jump drive to this day, it hasn't missed a beat.<br>(Lexar Jump Drive Durability -- I just pulled out my clothes out of my dryer and began to put in the next load in, right before I closed the door something caught my eye. What did I see, but my Lexar Jump Drive, that means that it went into my washer and then dried in the dryer. I was real disappointed, since this was my life force for all of my files. I quickly checked it out and it seemed dry, I took it to my computer to see if I had a $60 piece of trash. To my amazement, it worked just like the first time. Just amazing, can't say that it will be the same for you, but I highly recommend one of these.)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[techyted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2006 2:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lexar recalling 66,000 defective JumpDrives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/06/lexar-recalling-66-000-defective-jumpdrives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/06/lexar-recalling-66-000-defective-jumpdrives/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sweeeet a usb cigarette lighter.

It only warms up when I read/write incessantly.  It's the older, larger form factor so I imagine that dissipates heat more quickly.<br><br>A lot of modern solid-state electronics are surprisingly resilient to submersion in a clean liquid like water, provided that you dry them out before energizing them.  (A couple of hours in the sun were enough to dry out my dinosaur Kyocera KX414 phone on two occasions.)  However, if your phone is not a dinosaur, beware the Red Dot.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[codecorvid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2006 8:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lexar recalling 66,000 defective JumpDrives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/06/lexar-recalling-66-000-defective-jumpdrives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/06/lexar-recalling-66-000-defective-jumpdrives/</guid><description><![CDATA[HOT DIRECT- SKU 335159 (LEXAR 1GB SECURE II JUMPDR)<br><br>To:                   General Sales Manager<br><br>From:               Merchandising<br><br>Deadline:         Immediately<br><br>Contact:           Joel Boquiren, x4854; Lindsay Appleby, x5915<br><br>Assigned To:                                                                            .<br><br>Completed By:                                                                         .<br><br>Date Completed:                                                                      .<br><br> <br><br>SKU 335159 (LEXAR 1GB SECURE II JUMPDR) needs to be field destroyed immediately.
