If I am not mistaken, my iPod has a 50 or 50 gig hard drive. You'd
have to buy 30 2 gig $10 SD cards to match the capacity. That's a lot
more than I paid for my iPod.

Plus, SD cars are small. If you are always swapping them out to get to
the music on another card, well...


You know, I think I am still hung up from the old days of having a PAL
286 computer with a whopping 40Mb hard drive. I became very frugal
with disk space, saving all my documents on floppy disk so the hard
drive had room for programs. Its a habit I still have, even though my
newest computer has a 320Gb drive plus an additional backup drive. I
keep it squeaky clean of misc. stuff that I really don't need.

I guess I can store some stuff without worrying about running out of space.

My first PC had only a floppy drive. It wasn't until I got my hands on
an S-100 bus computer that I encountered a hard drive, but I think it
was only 20megs...
