Back in 2005, my boss at the time asked me to research some flash drives... for some reason I took a screen shot for him and I found that screen shot on an old backup hard drive the other day. It's crazy that you can get a 1 GB Kingston Flash drive on Amazon for $2.99. How quickly they've dropped in price...

I still remember paying about the same amount in the mid-90's for a 4MB stick of PC RAM...used!.

Speaking of flash memory, have you seen the prices of the flash hard drives?

And that's just a 128GB

edit: corrected the size (still had MB on the brain, thanks jdwme)

that's 128 gb drive. And for 3k!

Some of the newer Dell laptop have the option to upgrade to SSD.

It's $1,000 to go from 80GB regular HD to a 64GB SSD for apple's new laptop, but over 3K for 128GB is ridiculous! Too bad for the early adopters.

Just think, in a few years you probably won't even be able to give those things away.
