Cat-lateral Damage: A Destroyed USB Flash Drive

A few days ago my cats were scrapping and playing around my PC. As one of them tried to scramble to safety he bumped into my PC, and the Flash drive sticking out of the front of it, and completely shattered the thing.

This probably wouldn't be nearly as humurous if I hadn't finished copying off the all the files minutes before this happened. It was only a 1 GB drive, so it wasn't like it was a major blow to the pocket book. (A brief pause here as I recall the not-so-long-ago time when I & the rest of the IT staff were issued 256MB Flash drives. We thought it was so awesome that we could go around installing apps without carrying around a bulky case of CDs or needing network access.)

Oh well, it served me well for a few years. And, since these things are dirt cheap now I might as well jump over to Amazon and order a new one.
