Re: SD card lock tab fell out!

I had a usb drive left with me, upon checking it out I found that it was 
defective. I called the manufacturer, told them the situation - that it 
was left with me, it was defective, I had no idea when it was purchased, 
and I had no receipt. To my amazement they not only RMA'ed it, but since 
that one was discontinued, they sent the next size bigger. 
Moral....Honesty does pay off (at least sometimes). It's worth a shot, 
before you go messing with it.
