[Eug-lug] on the durability of certain items

[Michael Miller]

I have had two SanDisk USB keys go though the washer and dryer.  They
tend to do really well until the solder on the male USB end starts to
loosen up.  Then you have to crack them open and re-solder the 4
contacts.  I've yet to do this due to lack of a proper work bench.
