Re: Inventor memory stick

They give you that option as well. Not too practical for me. Plus I see to much hypocrisy from the greens to lose much sleep over my little memory stick. I like it.

It can be blasted clean and reformatted. Trust me

Care to share c.henry? I admint I didn't give it a college try as I need them for customers backups and emergencies more than most users, but when I tried to flash it I got the same error as recorded by the OP.

Hi

Sorry, but I'm not able to format the stick in Linux either. Is there something I'm missing??

I was thinking the same about this. Yes, I may need it to reinstall, but next year, this memory stick will be completely useless because we are on subscription.

You know, I was wondering about this last year when I could not reuse my DVD's for 2011.

I think the energy footprint on one USB stick is far less than 7 DVD's and a plastic case, not to mention shipping costs.

The USB stick is much better than the DVD . It's just that throwing something that could / should be easy to reuse and cost about 100$ to buy is stupid..

You can always change your subscription preference to download only. I suspect that the footprint for a write-protect Thumb-Drive is less than all the DVD's as well as the shipping weight of the larger package for the DVD's over the Thumb-Drive.
