i don't know where to start. i stuck the thing in physically and
it fit.

there is a little slot on the side.. there are USB plugs in the
back. nothing perceptible happens when i plug it in.
it seems inbuilt to me.. hmm.. there is a button i pushed..
oh wait.. the HD is still going because i make making things.
i had to take out a plastic plug to fit the one inch square
thing that fits into cameras. not the two inch by one inch
one.. the smaller one.. there is a button right there for
some other plug in. i pressed the button and another bigger
credit card sized plastic thing with holes in it came out
but the SD card thing stayed in there. to get the SD
card out, i just push on it. i've been leaving it in there.
