    Anyone else having issues with USB Flash Drives after the solar flares earlier this week? I have 2 that now have "disk errors" that only started on Wednesday. That's a pretty large coincidence, so I wonder if this is a symptom of solar flares... We all know that they can cause havoc with electronics, but I really wouldn't have thought that these last solar flares were strong enough. thoughts?

      I suggest building a small conical foil shield and placing it over the memory sticks in question. ;)

        I had the same issue when I was abducted by the aliens, but I can't really remember if it was during the solar flares.

          Pyramidal, surely?

          Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

                Somebody already suggested the cover. What should he use the duck for?

                    I don't worry about them since I started wrapping them in the foil left over after I made my tinfoil hat. :-D
