Great Gigabytes Batman!



Man you can turn almost everything into a exclamation by Robin. Anyway I finally found a great deal on digital memory for my camera. Futureshop had 1GB cards on for $15 a piece so I picked up three. I know have 5 gigabytes (gigs) of memory for my camera, and hopefully that will be enough for the trip.

Just so you know how much 5 gigs is, this will be enough for me to take 3500 11x14 or 4750 8x10 photos. I know that might seem a bit extreme, but I don't want to run out and I don't know how easy it will be to transfer pictures to a CD while I am over there. I figured if we are over in Europe travelling for nearly 80 days this will allow us to take 50-60 pictures a day, which should be plenty. I know most of those pictures will never be printed, but can be sorted through when we get home and you can't have to many pictures especially of a trip like this.

Anyway I now its not very exciting, but some news that I was happy about. A funny fact that Chad will appreciate, one of these little cards that you see in the picture (which are about 1-1/4'x3/4'), holds ten times the amount of memory that Chad's first computer had. Mind you that computer came out about 15 years ago, but still it is pretty amazing.

Sweet deal. I'm hoping to be able to rivail your memory collection when I get a digital camera someday.
