Remember that the flash memory cards are rated to retain a recording for about 10 years. Magneto-optical discs like Hi-MD are expected to last a lot longer, perhaps 100 years. Amazing deals for flash memory are available from time to time. I recently purchased a 4GB SDHC card for $40, with a $40 mail in rebate. The check just arrived, so my net cost for that 4GB is zero. --oryoki |
