No, I just mean I advise to never ever use storage that comes to you
via a USB port for anything you care about.
I might consider it okay for temporary shifting of data about, but I
would never use it as part of a permanent setup without fully
expecting one day to find it just not working. But then that is also
how I feel about any storage device. It's just worse when USB is
added to the mix.
Thanks,
Andy
