The first USB stick I bought, I saved up for and it was over $1/MB. It still works to this day but is so ridiculously slow and capacity limited there's no reason to.
4TB in a little stamp is amazing.
I remember bringing a 64M USB drive to school and telling the librarians that "this is the future"
I think back then you needed to install drivers, so I was trying to get them to install drivers on all the library computers so that it would "just work" for students. Before then we used to have to burn files onto CDs or DVDs to bring them to school.
Tiger Direct had a 1GB card in 2002 and it was $900. Blew my money in a 128MB card and lost it. Heart broken.
