Washed my memory card

Again!  I keep leaving these things in my pants pockets.  This time it made it though a double cycle in the dryer and it still worked, and photos still on it!  Sandisk, way to go!

Yeah you have to work really hard to kill a CF/SD card. I love things that can take abuse, and keep on ticking like a Timex.

You need to be more scientific before you declare sandisk to be the "way to go".  Buy all the brands and wash them.  :thumbsup:

I know for a fact that Transcend cards are capable of surviving a wash.

Transcend, way to go! :kmonst:

I have a Transcend, good card.  I use that one and I do own a Sandisk too.  Honestly I don't see any differences with them.
