An hour of work wasted
I copied a file for a friend onto a thumbdrive. I brought it home and was trying to copy the files to the hard drive so I could make an archive out of them for her. The thumbdrive is a SanDisk Cruzer and it has this stupid proprietary browser that takes over whole systems. This happened to me two years ago when I was trying to get a file printed at Kinkos. It got so they were afraid to just yank the thumbdrive. Well I put the thumbdrive in this computer and it crashed the thing…twice. I had been writing something in Notepad for a blog post because it works better for organizing my thoughts and doesn’t RTF the text. Well that’s gone. And I have to start over. So I moved over to the laptop and got the file to transfer so I could archive it and send it. Then I removed the proprietary browser using a utility I downloaded off a forum.
