- ssharwood 8y agoThank you so much for pointing that out! As the author of the original, it's irksome to see kudos (and revenue) go to outlets that re-re-report a story.
- dang 8y agoOk, we've changed to that original URL from https://boingboing.net/2018/05/10/ibm-bans-usb-sd-cards-flash.html https://boingboing.net/2018/05/10/ibm-bans-usb-sd-cards-flas.... Thanks!
- ssharwood 8y agoGosh, thanks! Certainly didn't expect the change or want to be seen as asking for it. But it's lovely that you did it so thanks!
