I got to thinking about my main computer and the Windows recovery drive I have. It is for Win 10 and I am on Win11.

So no big deal, put that old thumb drive in, and make a new recovery drive. I then noticed the old drive is a 16GB USB 2.0 drive. It failed after 30 minutes when the drive ran out of room. OK, start over. I am using a USB 3.1 32 gig drive this time.

I will format the old USB drive and keep it for the possible future project that a client insists on a USB drive and 16 gig is big enough. Or I may just trash it. I can remember when a 16 Gig thumb drive was HUGE and expensive, now they are pretty much trash. I forget how slow a USB 2 drive is.

Again I remember the thought of a huge 640 MB CD was enormous. Then a 4.7 MB DVD was huge. I don't think I have burned a DVD or CD in years. Even a 4.7 GIG DVD is tiny.
