Walter, I said... "I still take offense to the fact that a 64 MB CompactFlash is listed as costing $300.00 a pop. I found several different CF suppliers on www.shopper.com making cards in varying capacities that well undercut the $300.00 water mark that IBM implies..." There are 112 matches for the search word "compactflash" on www.shopper.com and 1 match for "microdrive" at the same site. I think it is clear that the CFA has accomplished one of its goals...an open standard where the market determines a fair market value for product. Hats off to the CFA! Supply and Demand are inverted now. In the upcoming quarters look for prices to start coming down further. I hope that SanDisk leads the way. CompactFlash is still "expensive". But if you think of it as the last roll of film you ever buy I would still consider it "priceless". I bought a 128 MB CompactFlash card this morning after I posted to SI. At first I wasn't so sure about whether the Internet price was accurate on www.buy.com so I logged on and placed an order because they still had some ready to ship for this price. The damage report is $224.95 + $5.45 for shipping. That calculates to $1.80/MB. Ausdauer
