Went shopping at Low Yat for new SD memory card today and was I in for a shock?  Sorry ah… have to sound like a jakun a bit here…

1. Minimum size for SD card is now 2GB and it’s only RM18!  Cost me RM130 for 1GB not so long ago *$#%@!!!!
2. They have 32GB thumb drive now????  And it’s only RM170????  My first thumb drive bought in 2005 cost RM125 for 256MB!!!!  More *%$#@#$%%*&
3. And what is this Class 2, Class 4, Class 6 SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity)??? *scratch head*

Storage media has come a long, long way.  My first PC bought in 1991 came with 30MB hard drive!  Can you imagine that???

While we are on the subject of old technology here, the old PC also came with an Intel processor with 8MHz clock speed.  And there’s a “Turbo” button which will push it to 12MHz …. 50% improvement !!!  And if you still don’t get it, today’s PC runs at clock speed in excess of 3GHz … that’s 3,000MHz as compared to the 8MHz! Like comparing to someone on a bicycle and a supersonic jet.
