    "Useless proprietary waste of space."

    August 1, 2011  |   By AnthonyStarfield

    Pros

    It's trash, nothing to like.

    Cons

    It won't run on my memory card.

    Summary

    This program will only run on a special memory card called a U3 card, made by Sandisk. The U3 cards have a program in a hidden partition that's very difficult to delete. The program installs itself onto your computer whenever you connect the card to a usb port.

    I can't stand this kind of crap. Instead of making something that just blooming works, it will only work with THEIR hardware. Sony has done similar things, with their pointless memory cards in several different versions with similar, confusing names.

    I'll avoid Sandisk stuff from now on.
