500 GB SSDs

***************************************************
I have to admit anyone who gets excited about the size of SSD memory is most likely a computer geek.  I get very excited because they come in so handy in using portable digital devices such as cameras and camcorders.  The price obviously is nothing to get excited about.  Was it Bill Gates who once said "No one will ever need more than 16k of memory."  He thought DOS will rule forever but sounds so cute today to think of 16k as memory size.
