After the last rain storm here I came home to find my USB hub with memory key sitting on the floor 
submerged in 10mm of water. The hub did not survive. I washed the key out with metho and dried it 
with a hair dryer and we were back off and running. The WP switch is a little dodgy now, but it 
still goes. It's now my HTPC boot disk.
