I've had at least one that got so hot I could not remove it from the computer with my fingers. It was a crappy one that I was given in lieu of printed information when I told them I could not use their business card sized (and shaped) mini cd. IIRC the thumb drive was 128MB and after I managed to get it out of my computer with the use of a cloth napkin, I threw it in the trash. > either works perfectly fine. I find USB thumb drives get very temperamental if they are left plugged in horizontally. I have a USB hub with ports on top and find the thumb drives do much better in that. -- If at first you don't succeed, put it out for beta test.
