Check out this ad from 9 years ago. A 256 MB ( yes MB not GB ) card for 99.95. And you need a loan for 512 MB.

Blast from the Past: A 512MB SD Memory Card for Just $150

I wonder what a 32GB card was going for ? 15,000$? haha.

Maybe but you would need something with SDHC capability to use it

Yep I found a receipt not long ago from when we bought our 512mb pro duo card for our wedding in Jamaica '04 which was HUGE at the time! It was about $160 CRAZY!

My first new PC had this giant 10MB hard drive. I was wondering why I would ever need this much storage.

My first was a 30 MB CF card and it was $300, $900 for the 1 MP Kodak DC210 it went in!

Electronics is the one area where the prices drop almost every year for better products. A desktop computer stays at basically the same price for a top model for years but the level of tech it has goes up by leaps and bounds.

Reminds me of the good old time I got my 1st MP3 player (Rio S10) and it had either 64mb memory or 128. All I remember was that it cost me about $70 and to get an SD to double the memory cost about $80 at the time. Oh the good old days...
