The number 1GB means a lot to me and no matter how I try to compare it to modern technology it still feels like a HUGE amount of data to me.
I keep a small collection of 1GB MMC cards (thinner, half-sized, pre-SD cards) which I always get a kick out of holding as a pile in my hands and gushing about "omg much data. such size" despite knowing that, even in a retro PC, I'll never actually use them since there are plenty of better alternatives.
I also get a kick out of removing the retention clip on the MMC cards, cutting the dimensions of the 1GB monster in half. Then reattaching it and repeating the process. Haha.
I have a lot of nostalgia for the original Zip 100 and 1GB Jaz disks but the sheer size of these iddy biddy widdle cards! I love them so. 😀
