1.0 out of 5 stars Crashed my system! Lost my hope, but my system changed..., April 30, 2009

I purchased the Obama drive with hope and change in mind. I did not want just the usual thumb drive, I wanted something new (even if it did not have much experience or brand name to back it up), something that I could say that I was the first to purchase a flash drive of this caliber and of this style. The day that it arrived in the mail I was eager to open it and see what kind of difference it would make in my computing life. The glossy black finish and the shinny chrome trim made the drive one of the more charismatic items I had ever seen on Amazon. For the first few days, it seemed that things were looking up. The speed was good, the preloaded speeches were excellent, but as the 100 day mark approached, the Obama drive dwindled away. The hope of improvement was gone, the change... well the change was there, but not in the way I had expected. It seemed that the preloaded speeches were contradicting the current speeches and the ones given as a candidate. I wasn't sure if it was a computer glitch or if the Obama drive was malfunctioning. At this point, my hope still lost, more change was on its way. My system crashed! It crashed worse than any other computer crash since the 1950's! Now that's change!

I would not recommend this to a friend.

Update: Upon further examination, I have come to the conclusion that it is not made in the United States of America, although I am unsure as to its origin.

This drive only works when used on my computer that shares a power outlet with my teleprompter. The speeches seem to change before my eyes but that is probably due to the huge power requirements of the device. Oddly enough, the speech files cannot be removed and my antivirus software freaks out whenever I plug in the drive. I would ask for a refund but I'm sure I'm stick with it for a while.

Caveat Emptor.

1.0 out of 5 stars All flash, no substance, April 30, 2009

I couldn't even store last year's tax return on a drive that small. What good will it be next year after the Bush tax cuts expire?
