This is the Part Where You Learn Why

Conversation Hubby and I had last night at 10 p.m.

Me: Remember when we talked a couple of days ago about how it would be a good time to switch out the PCMCIA cards in the yield monitor?
Hubby: Uh huh.
Me: Did you remember to do it?
Hubby: Yep.
Me: What did you do with it.
Hubby: Damn. I think I left it in my shirt pocket.
Me: The shirt I just washed?
Hubby:...

Are there any technical people out there that knows if PCMCIA card data can be salvaged after it's been through the washing machine?

UPDATE: It still works!! Will wonders never cease....
