4 GB SD cards for istDS/DS2, istDL/DL2

[Shel Belinkoff]

Hi Aaaron ...

The numbers work out to considerably less than $100.00 if you make a wise
purchase.  How does $53.00 plus whatever shipping and taxes there may be
for an 80X 1GB card and a 150X 2GB card.  Good point about the speed of
cards then and now - and for the future as well, I guess.
