Stupid Macs

Something is seriously wrong with my Mac man…. everytime I put in a formatted pendrive into the USB port it asks me to initialize it. Then I do so. Then I save about 80 MBs worth of documents into the drive so that I can take things home to work on them. And then, and then….
I come back and switch on my comp. And I KNOW I've got 80 MBs worth of stuff inside the thumbie, and then…
My stupid comp at home tells me that the drive is not formatted.
This is crap. It means I'll have to speed back to the office on Monday (even with my leave) to get stuff out so that I can at least work on something.
Shit or not.

Time for a new pendrive I say. I heard that pendrive prices went down a lot lately. Hmm … maybe I should consider getting one too.

You’re using old Mac OS 9, I see. I had the same problem with my PC floppies. As far as I could tell, some extension or other is causing the problem. (some people managed to fix it by upgrading the OS to Mac OS 9.2.2.) I personally never found out how to fix the problem except to switch over to Mac OS X.

your thumbie is as good as dead. I have experienced this before. if it’s still under warranty, go get it changed. If it’s not… too bad…
