    My sincerest condolences on your loss. If you let us know when the funeral is, I will send flowers.

    OK....now on a more serious note. I take it the the drive is unoperable? Have you let it completely dry out? ( As I stated, mine went thru both the washer and then the dryer....it was very clean on the outside....:-D).

    Was there very much irreplaceable files and data, or just work to regather it all?

    no! just old wedding photos, the grandchildren some of which i'd messed with on photoshop never shown to anyone. nearest i got to porn was one of the wife in an old fashioned bathing costume, she's still my girl. pegged it on the washing line and its ok now.

    I've had 2 of my thumb drives go through the washing machine... and the dryer. One of them (a Kingston) has made the trip 2x.

    They both still work fine.

    Sounds like it turned out ok, that's good. :)
    I stopped checking pockets when my children got big enough to go outside, alone. I gathered up the money after the washer was done, as for anything else I didn't want to know. :confused:(
