Maybe you should clean out your drawers once in a while. LOL It's time to let it go.

Easy, understandable mistake. I could see myself doing that.

HUH? Can you explain why anyone would pay that kind of money for a 32MB card?

As I said earlier our company could buy the 32MB cards new a few months ago but paid $150 each.

Because as company policy we do not buy used or from places like Ebay. We also need to restrict ourselves to certain vendors. The vendors we have account with are Staples, CDW and Tigerdirect and none was selling that size cards. We do need cards of that size for the drives (these are drives that control motor speed) that we have on one of our new million dollar machine can't take larger size. We had to buy them cards from Siemens which is the manufacturer of the drives and paid the high prices.

Thats funny, and imagine how far cards have come, and cameras too. I remember my first PC, I splurged and got the 40 meg hard drive instead of the 20 meg. Now I think I have 4 Terra bytes for my main drive.
Well, according to Moore's Law (computer power doubling every 18 months), that 10X every 5 years, or about 15 years for 1000X (332MB ->32GB).
I often point out that I have over 100 MP3s which would not fit (alone) on my first hard drive.

That’s an easy mistake to make, especially when in a hurry.

I see no senility nor stupidity on the contrary, you saw a mistake and you made the correction. Big difference between Mb. and Gb. cards.

And mine was a 64K computer. That was after the one where you had to use 2 5.25" floppy discs to make it work. And work in DOS.
It could be worse. My first desktop computer had 8 inch floppies.
