  |   | Anyone know of any cheap memory sticks in Dublin?
  |   | I bought two at Aldi (or was it Lidl) a few weeks ago,
  |   | but they keep ending up in the wash.
  | 
  |  well, Montpellier is not Dublin (perhaps to mutual
  |  advantage?), but a few weeks ago I spotted (and then
  |  immediately bought) a 1GiB stick (branded Intuix) for
  |  c.€50 — and so far it has worked fine [ ... ]

 which has now been washed.  ;-(
 but survived!   <<yea!>>
 actually, I might have gotten lucky here:  I spotted
 it in the water as the wash was filling with hot(!)
 soapy water and managed to retrieve it — completely
 soaked with soap suds dripping off it — so it hadn't
 been in the water for very long &tc.
 I briefly washed it off under cool running water, and
 then simply left it to drain and dry for c.4 _weeks_.
 it seems to be completely unscathed.

cheers!
