"Your storage capacity is 80 gigabytes. Doubler loading". #johnnymnemonic

LOL. I have 512 GB micro SD card that i can stick into my ear. In some cases SciFi is underwhelming.

@Ichinin You do know when Johnny Mnemonic was written, do you?

@afx Yupp, in a time before storage devices accellerated in capacity.

@Ichinin A very time long before memory cards even existed...

@afx FYI: The first Compact Flash memory device was released in '92. This is a 4 GB CF card that sits on an IDE interface in my Amiga 4000. Amiga 600 and 1200 had native support for them through a CF interface on the left side.

@afx While USB memories started out smaller (like the first one i bought), they were not the first storage devices you could pop in/out of your puter.

They just sucked big time in capacity for around 10 years, then suddenly we were sitting on 32, 64, 128 GB and now i have micro SD cards @ 200-512 GB.

I just wonder what took so long.
