Memory sure is becoming cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. I wonder when we will finally reach the ratio of 1 cent to 1 Gig.

I'm still waiting for the day when I will finally be able to afford a 20 terabyte hard drive . But for now I guess I will be satisfied with having a 32 GB Micro SD Card in my R4i.
