Rice Absorbs Water from Electronics!

This weekend I was working on brochures for a real estate agent. All of my data was saved on my thumb drive. Somehow I forgot that I had placed the thumb drive in my jeans pocket instead of my purse. You guessed it, my

jeans were washed...with the thumb drive still tucked away in my jeans pocket! I didn't realize it until later in the day when I was searching for my thumb drive.

I remembered the advice Beth Torrence shared to a KW family member regarding rice absorbing water from electronics. Once I switched the load of laundry and found my thumb drive, I promptly headed to my kitchen. I placed my thumb drive in a zip lock bag with a cup of rice and sealed the bag. I let the rice absorb the water from my thumb drive overnight. I am blessed to say that all of my data is still located on my thumb drive! Thanks Beth!

Make it a great day!

Larry - I'm sorry I was in such a rush Sunday. I wanted to talk but had previous committments and I was on a tight schedule.

We are blessed to be part of a company with an open book policy including tech tips that can save us...and our data.

It matters to us as much as it matters to you.

Wow, Jamie, the day was saved from one of Beth's past tech tips. I have those saved and I think it is time to start reviewing them. I saved your tech tips too. You two are the Kim Kamando's of Keller Williams.

@Beth Torrence- It was a big Ah-Ha moment for me. The most simple tech tips we take advantage of may save priceless data, or save an hour of time.

@Mike Nastri-I'm so blessed I read Beth's tech blogs. I wouldn't have realized I could have saved my thumb drive...that still works like new!
