A guide to Rainbow Cookies

Rainbow cookies – a delight that I haven’t been able to find in California. They used to be more commonly available in New York, but not as much anymore. I have seen them in Boston though.

Here are two pictures of rainbow cookies from the Shop and Stop near my parents. (They’re not found at all Shop and Stop locations.) It’s $7.99 a pound and this is what they look like:

Here are some cookies from Saint Honore Pastry Shop in Port Washington.  They’re $10+ a pound (I think):

The ones from Saint Honore are distinctly lighter, but I do like the chocolate sprinkles on the Stop and Shop ones.

If you live in the West Coast, maybe you can order them from Bruce’s.

When USB Flash Drives go bad…

A fairly new USB Flash Drive was connected to a desktop PC at work today.

And then the drive never worked again.

Unfortunately, this was tried on another USB Flash Drive. And that drive never worked again.

One of my friends tells me that he had a laptop had a USB port that would always destroy USB Flash Drive.

Something to keep in mind.
