I've moved twice in the past 12 months, and in those moves have completely misplaced some things. One is the memory stick that I was using for pictures on my computer. Looks like I'll need to get another one and start over again.
I didn't lose any of my pictures, though. I mainly used the stick to load them and share them with family on their computers, so all the photos are still intact. Using the memory stick for photos and documents seems to be faster than sending them as email attachments or sharing files any other way.
