[GRLUG] Nonlinux: Windows won't open FAT32 thumb drive

[Eric Beversluis]

Whatever. Now it's opening OK. I did look at Disk Management, which told
me it was a healthy FAT32, but I didn't do anything there. Then I
checked again and it opened. Who can understand? 

A fellow found a oil lamp in Silicon Valley. He rubbed it and a genie
appeared and promised him one wish. He said, build me a 4-lane highway
to Hawaii. Genie sighed and said that was impossible. So he said, "Help
me to understand Windows." Genie said, "Let's do the highway."
(slightly modified version of an old joke)
