Not criticising you Mike, but that's like the number 1 travel tip for Italy
:/ so I'm a bit surprised it didn't get any mention in the travel info!!

Error 404: I wasn't given a USB stick. But maybe I
didn't lose out there?
For future Wikimanias, maybe solely providing local travel info via a wiki
rather than a USB stick is a better approach?
(Not that I have much to complain about with local travel info - except
for not being told that train tickets in Italy need to be validated, which
is different from the UK, and that not validating leads to a fine...)
Thanks,

Another data point from me, mine crapped out, too (after filling it half

Sorry - to clarify, this means that they're
not to be relied on (rather

Just FYI, regarding the square green USB
sticks,[0] that you might have
received amongst the Lombardy region travel information -
I tried to check and format two of the USB sticks (one given to me by a
roommate), using the linux utility badblocks[1].
Both USB sticks failed the first pass, in nearly the same section (block
516544 and block 515904). I will not be using either of them, and I suggest
caution (or your own personal testing) before relying upon any from this
batch.
Hope that helps. (The t-shirt thread reminded me to send this. :)
