Flash Gordon

flash memory is really cool. I have been around long enough that I can really appreciate holding a stick in my hand that holds 2 gigs worth of data. You can hold that amount of data on a chip the size of a postage stamp these days and I remember when a 1 gig standard hard drive was an amazing amount of storage. We used to joke about computers having a gig of ram in the sense that that was so far out of the realm of possibility that it was funny. Like saying your car would have 5000 horse power. Now a gig of ram is considered middle of the road. Things have leveled off in recent years, but it's still amazing.
