Holy crap, when did CompactFlash memory become so cheap? I was looking on NewEgg for a larger capacity memory card for my camera and I couldn’t believe it. $12 bucks for 128 MB! When I bought my camera two years ago, I think I paid $50 for a 64 MB card. It won’t be long before you’ll be able to store a gig of images on your camera. I continue to be amazed by how quickly storage has become so inexpensive.
I fear my air conditioner is going to sputter and die before too long. This is the eighth or ninth straight day of temperatures above 90 degrees with humidity levels of, like, 200%. But I’m not going to complain. In a few months, it’s going to be cold and gray and I’ll fondly remember being all hot and sweaty and gross.
I have had a 1GB flash card for a while now, and I have a 4GB Microdrive ripped from an iPod Mini that I use in my camera for more than a year now… We also have a 1GB SD card (which is TINY) for our other camera and I just remember thinking that I once was excited that I had a computer with 64K of memory… And the 64K of memory chips took up about as much space as a Palm Pilot…
