I could never get my digital photo display to work…although I didn’t try very hard. For me this USB card is just one more Google gift that I’m never gonna use.

For those of you that can’t figure out how to use it, flip out that little flap and stick it in a USB port

Anyways, I thought this was the coolest Google present yet. The first thing I got from them was a stupid “kit” with a 64mb USB1.0 thumb drive, a travel mouse, and some other crap. Then I got two fridges from them (two accounts) and they don’t get very cold, so I gave them away.

When I opened this box I was like “what the hell, is this a change purse or something?”. I almost threw it away, but then decided to check inside and found the card. I don’t have much use for it (I carry a USB drive on my keys), but it’s really fun to pull out of my wallet and makes a great conversation piece when I’m out with friends.

I got this card too, and I am still trying to figure out how it works as it wont fit any of the slots on my laptop. I tried my pcimca slot but it doesn’t take it and I am using a Dell inspiron 630M.Perhaps you or anyone reading this could please could post instructions about how to use it

I thought this present was kind of crappy. Last year I got a digital picture frame from them, much better than this year’s usb card and donation card.

yes I got the USB drive too… we also got a $200 gift card we can donate to the school of our choice. From what I gather, the amount varies…

I’m not sure on the details as my partner received it at our company address, and he handles our finances, but he mentioned going to a particular website to see a list of participating schools.

Our little town’s school wasn’t listed but there is a sign up page he said. Schools can sign up and list what they need and recipients of the gift card can browse schools and choose who they want to receive the cash.

My partner is going to talk to our local school about signing up and listing a need so we can donate it to them.. and the best part is, the donation is in our company name

I got the USB drive last week, but no fridge. I spend 6 figures on Google each year, so maybe only the million dollar spenders get the good stuff . And my AMEX is still Gold…
