Where do they put all the bits?

I got a new GPS unit last week in the REI sale. It came with a DVD of all the TOPO maps of the USA and a 128Mb microSD card. Well that's pretty small these days so I popped down to Fry's to get a bigger one.

4Gb!!! 

Its simply stunning to think that this has 4Gb memory. I don't even see the point of buying anything less than 4Gb at the moment because its so cheap. When I think of all the 16K ram packs from the ZX81 days its really quite stunning. J was equally impressed and its not like her to be impressed by small things Surprise. I feel like I could be a spy or something and fill it with secret blue prints and then smuggle it inside a button or something very James Bond. Heck its totally swallowable though I don't suspect the manufacturing covers stomach acid and I don't facy the idea of finding it.

The real problem now is what the hell do I do with the 8Mb, 16Mb CF cards I have sitting around. I think I have a 512Mb microdrive that I paid a small fortune for 10 years ago. I need to find a hobby where the price of things goes UP not down.
