Last year:  1GB CompactFlash, $175 on EBay.  I bought one for my 
PDA.  Fritz's "Loungeous Maximus" video (from my web site) is on 
there ("Instant James Bond!"), as are "Improvised Waves", a bunch 
of 'tron photos from Jerry, the entire tax code, schematics for Teddy 
Ruxbin, a digital representation of Mike Dickson's personality, and 
Martin's prom pictures from 1927.

This year:  2GB CompactFlash, $170 from on-line PC places (like Tiger 
Direct), although you may be able to find it cheaper via PriceWatch 
or NexTAG.  I may need that for the draft of my essay about highway 
line painting.

Next year:  Who knows!  :-)

I believe some recording decks are based on CF now.  It makes a ton 
of sense.
