So I went and bought myself a 256Mb thumb drive today, as I can see situations in which it couldd be useful & stuff.
Tried it. Didn't work. Back to the store: still didn't work, so swapped it for one that did.
Tried the new one. This time the magic smoke came out and the (presumably USB) mouse has stopped working as well.
Bah.
In other news, Marcia should be home tomorrow, we hope. They seem to have decided that a slight temperature is her normal reaction to surgery, but they're doing a few tests to check.
