busy

Time (and technology) is just flying past
Recently I upgraded my digital camera and gave my old one to my mum, I bought the old one back in 2001 I think. In the box I also found the old wrapper for the memory card I bought with it; it was a 64MB CompactFlash which was close to the maximum capacity you could get at the time I seem to recall*.

With that in mind read this: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0809/08092306pretec_64gb_100gb_cf.asp ... so that's a 1000** times more in only seven years. Which is 10 lots of doubling, in 10 lots of 18 months, which is on the faster side of Moore's law

Oh and the 64MB CF card cost me £70 ... duty free.
