Anyone found a good use for Compact Flash cards?

[dmftoy1]

I've found that I keep accumulating "smaller" compact flash cards as I upgrade the one's in the GPS, camera, etc. I wonder what to do with the old one's as I never seem to ever use them. (I bought the bigger one's because I didn't want to keep swapping)

Any good compact flash charities?

Like u, they seem to accumulate
Even gave my daughter a 512k one as one of her Christmas gifts and she now never uses the old one either

one of the things about our many upgrades...

(sorta like the 5 old computers in the garage

As I up grade my SD flash memory, I give them away as additional memory when I sell off my old Palms. I now have 3 Palms, a M130 that I use only for my EASE diagnostics, a Treo 600 and a T5. The T5 has a high speed 1 gig in it and I can play a ton of diesel drag movies because of it. There is still a demand for 64 & 128 meg chips for Palms (its actually overkill) but that is for SD and not necessarily for your type.
I have taken some of the smaller ones and put critical files like my IRS stuff and loaded those files on it and store them at an off site place. A flash media reader is cheap.

That's true . . .they're small enough that I could put that type of info on one and stash it in the truck somewhere. (currently all my backups are to DVD and stored in a firesafe . . . which may or may not last long enough for the fire department to arrive)

Have a good one,
