I broke my flashdrive!!  I took it to the Geek Squad and there was nothing they could do.  Fortunately, I didn't have any works in progress.  Unfortunately, I save almost everything to my flashdrive, so breaking it will have repercussions and consequences way into the future in ways I haven't even fathomed yet.

This is the second time I've done it.  I do have access to 2 "cyberspace"  accounts, Google Docs and One Drive, but both present problems for me.

I bought a new one and will carry on, of course, but ugh!

Okay, rant over.  As you were.
