That's the brand of the one I've used for years. Yep, that's right, years :)
I've never fried a dongle, but I did lose one. It also holds up well to the
heat of being used for upload/download in desktop replacement situations.
My only regret is that my new dongle's gripper prings aren't as tough as the
last one's and it likes to slip out now. Software can't solve that one,
waaah. Maybe those disk-stickums they use in magazines would help, sigh...
