And to put that in perspective, the first box of floppy disks I bought, in 
the summer of 1984, I paid fifty dollars for a box of Elephant brand 
floppies here in Canada.

Five dollars is about the place where I decide something is loseable. 
Somewhere around there, I won't fuss over the money, somewhat above that I 
will think twice.

If the cards were  still expensive, then I would fuss.  But since they can 
be had cheap, and more than enough capacity, I wouldn't fuss over the 
space that can't be used.

Gee, I used to buy 60 minute cassettes, they were cheapest, and cut them 
down to size, keeping one or a few programs on each, since it was easier 
to find the program I wanted.    I didn't have much money, but I didn't 
fuss over throwing away most of the capacity of the cassette.
