Well I have about 2 gigs of images and files etc.. so some of it will be used just to keep my collection of software, and considering I can get a 1 Gig CF for $40 cnd or a 2 Gig for $60 cnd why not... at present up here in Toronto .. a 256 or 512 CF card is roughly $22 and $28 respectively.. for the extra few bucks why not go big..
