Nice; kinda saw this coming as well with the price drop in the 1GB SD cards as well.

It might be pretty good to have a 1-2GB flash stick like that. Although I gotten along good enough with 256MB and 512MB sticks.

1GB is good as you can copy a full CD worth of third party data onto it and get significantly faster portable access than the best CD readers. I've been running a 1GB stick for a year solely because of the benefit I get from that capability.

Cheers,

If the present trend continues, the CDRs and CDRWs might go the way of the ZIP disks!

Although, it will be quite *that* quick of a decline.

The only thing CDR is good for is making CDs I can play in the car. And copying software for legitimate use (you'll be glad you made that backup when it's CD 5 out of a 6 CD set and you install all that way on a slow machine to get some I/O fruitcake error...)
