A few posts back talk about there is a new version of AutoBleem out that I wanted to try.  Right now have the 0.6 (something) .  This new ones is 0.8(something).  It is pretty easy to update.  Just need to drag and drop the new files over to the USB stick and replace the files.   Didn’t really want to do this since I have other sticks.  The one I did try and use only showed it have 700 MBS free of 32GB.  But when I went to format it still read the same amount.  Then remember I used it to make a Linux boot drive with it.   So looked into a way to fix that.  There is a bunch of programs you can download. However there is an easier and faster way using Command Prompt.  Here is the tutorial I used > here.  Just scroll down until you see the Command Prompt how to part.  There are six simple commands to put in.  You don’t even have to type them.  Just copy and paste.  Just make sure are formatting the right disk or you can mess you computer up.

SanDisk_16GB_Cruzer_Glide_USB_DriveWas in Walmart the other day.  They have started to roll out the back to school stuff.  Seen this big display full of USB drives.  Took a closer look and they were SanDisk 16GB Cruzer Glide flash drive.  Then seen the price of them, $5.88.  Wow, this is a crazy good deal.  As I am typing this (Aug 7, 2018) Amazon.ca is selling the same model for $10.83.  You can never have enough USB drives.  I ended up buying two.  Just might got back and get a few more.
