Why would I want to do such a thing? And where? I do not have Windows, I use openSUSE.

But I have friends that use Windows, and I have to share things with them.
One of many reasons. For example, because I’m getting some training, and
this is done in Windows, and I have no say in it.

Also, I have to use Windows at home for things like maintaining my Nokia
phone, my Tom-Tom navigator, or my Kobo ebook. Also beyond my power - but I
do not need a usb stick with that machine, I use samba of ftp or ssh.

Not everybody uses Linux exclusively, and usb sticks are used mostly for
porting things from one computer to another. I have control of my own
computer, not of the others.

Tsjk, Tsjk, poor guys :disapointed:

I’ll sure try not to. Sometimes words don’t come to me as they should so I use what I think fits best. No need to get bent out of shape.
