Anyone remember XD cards, I still have some old 128MB Fuji ones.
Yes I sold many, and for a while they were like gold dust with used prices exceeding retail! And I remember their forerunner, the smart media cards! My first gig CF card was a nightmare, a first generation, that took forever to download, then the risk of corruption and loosing everything. Even now, I prefer shooting important things with 2 or 4Gb cards, 40-80 images.

my house mate built a PC with a 3Gb hard drive, which I would use occasionally.

It was then upgraded to a 10Gb with a 56k modem, of which he described as ''S**t off a shovel'' I actually bought that one from him and served me well for 3 or 4 years lol. I am still bewildered when I think back to then whilst I have a 128Gb card in my pocket camera.
