jr_senator: Like a floppy disk.

I don't even have 2GBs. I don't shoot that much at a time though, but I can even beat Eldorf_Dragonsbane; In my Rezo 120AW I keep all of my CFs: 3*1 GB, 1*256 MB, 1*128MB, 1*64 MB and 1*16 MB (!)

I'd just keep the storage if I were you.

"A long ass ****ing time ago in a town called Kickapoo, there lived a humble family religious through and through, and yeah these guys were amish and they knew just what to do; they threw away the USB and whipped out a floppy disk" (Tenacious D is going to sue me...)

Keep em.. (in the glove compartment) They are not only useful when you forget your card but if you get a digital frame you can use them for that as well.

I have 5 * 2GB cards and use them in my XTi and 3 * 8GB cards that I use in my 40D. Other then that I also have a few old SD and XD cards that range from 16MB to 128MB that I use in digital picture frames.

digital picture frames... i never thought about that!


Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.
