Bits Bytes and Gigabytes

[paulstung]

I have found myself recently a little obsessed, with Mythbusters, and Adam savage, and after a day of Youtubeing, I have just finished watching this vid, about old valve style Bits and Bytes, and even a 50 year old Gigabyte, and it kinda blew me away. So I thought some other late comers to computers like me might find interesting.

It sure isn't cheap
But hey, 128GB SSD's can be more expensive
Here's eBay auction of this card : LINK
PS. That microSD is UHS-I type, so not just a "Class 10" : LINK
