Free: USB Flash Drive from Microsoft
Steve Bass has a piece about a Microsoft offer of a free thumb drive. Personally, I found his “Bass International Disclaimer” more interesting than the Microsoft offer. In his best Bassian style he writes
1. If supplies are limited, then the supplies are limited. This means that the company making the offer may not have enough supplies for everyone. Consequently, you may not get your supply. If you don’t, Bass doesn’t want to hear about it.
2. Bass doesn’t know the capacity of the Microsoft USB drive (it may be only 132KB for all he knows), whether it’s bootable, contains advertising or spyware (but it definitely comes with “product information” and “additional resources”), or if it comes in different colors. Please don’t ask.
3. When the USB drive arrives and it doesn’t work as intended, your mileage varies, the results aren’t typical, using it has an impact on the national debt, or it turns out the offer is invalid in Vermont, Kansas, and parts of Oklahoma, please do not call Bass or his editor.
4. If the USB drive doesn’t arrive after six or eight weeks, as specified on the Website, think about contacting a customer service department, any customer service department, which (all together now) is not Bass.
Anyway, if you want to try for the free drive, go here. Note that the free offer is not immediately obvious but is in a box in the middle of the right side of the page. Also, you will need a Microsoft Passport password.
