I probably bought this in about 1998 when I owned my Handspring Visor PDA. It had a Compact Flash adaptor to expand the memory...and expand I did, baby. I paid $40 for a whopping 8 mb! Talk about progress...I get emails bigger than this. If I were to put this card in my camera and shoot normally it would hold just over half of one photo. Not even ONE PHOTO! (I'll try to control my geek-out.)
I own memory cards that are 1000 times bigger than this. That's amazing progress in only a decade. I just thought I'd share for all you tech geeks. You know who you are.

At Office Max the other day they had a bucket near the register filled with lightweight plastic 2 gig thumb drives. They were $5 apiece I think. Two years ago I paid thirty for my 1 gig. Soon they'll be like floppies--so cheap that you get one in every color and file things that way.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of floppies--I saw a re-use product at Office Max the same day: small notebooks of recycled paper that used old 3 1/2inch floppies for the front and back covers.
Now that is my kind of recycling.
