Walter, in 1974, 4KB RAM chips were commonplace while a 5MB disk drive cost $9,000 and weighed ~100 pounds. Today, 64MB chips are common and 10GB drives weighing ~1 pound cost <$200. Project this trend for another 25 years and we'll have 2,000GB "nanomachine" drives costing ~$5. That's enough capacity to store 15,000 MP3 albums plus several hundred thousand multi-megapixel photos. It's hard to imagine having a need for a second memory card when you still have enough unused storage for another dozen lifetimes! Craig
