I was reminded of this by Penny Arcade and some other site I read today (I forget which one). Flash drives don’t last forever. If you have anything important on your flash drive, back it up now. I backed mine up today. I have all my code from pipasoft.com on it, and a few other things – nothing I can’t live without, but still…. Another thing you should do is put a text file in the root of your drive called something like “if_found_read_this.txt” which contains contact info – just in case someone honest ever finds your flash drive. Maybe you’ll have a chance of getting it back.
