Well i used it as a development media There was FPC, Blender Paint shop pro 4, JEDI-SDL etc.. Just to develop at work
Luckily, i do daily backup of that.
Saturnday i'll go to PC City and try to get it changed. It should have a warrant.. The nice thing is that if they change it by the same price i'll have a 256 MB now It will have space for lazarus too

What interesting uses could one make of a dead USB drive?
:arrow: Bury it, but use it as it's own headstone.
:arrow: Test the robustness of the plastic case with the aid of a car tyre (with car attached).
:arrow: Attach it to a small chain and wear it around your neck, claiming it is your new iPod Shuffle. Drill a small hole for a headphone jack, 'plug in' some earphones and groove away to yourself.
:arrow: Attach it to the bonnet of your car. Mercedes Benz have the three-pointed star. Rolls Royce have the flying lady. You have the USB drive.
:arrow: Cut off the USB plug end and glue the remainder of the USB drive to a baseball cap. Wear the cap in public proudly stating, "I just upgraded my memory". Walk up to someone you know and when they say hi, you say, "Do I know you? Sorry, my memory of you must be on my other USB drive."
If it's still in warranty though, I would perhaps suggest not to do any of these (potentially destructive) ideas.
True, but With backup I meant, that the actual version of his code on that usb stick was a copy and not the origional.Originally Posted by Delfi
I know some people who actually lost important documents that way, because they never bothered to write it to a harddisk.
