Ah the C64! I still have two at home including one that has the 5 1/4 floppy drive and a modem! What a device, hours watching my brother playing Jet Set Willy.

My first computer was a Tandy Color Computer (CoCo) with a cassette tape drive.
 
It was amazing!

Daniel, whilst we of course had those machines we in the UK also had our own home grown machines such as the BBC Computer, the Sinclair ZX81, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum that was the closest equivalent to the Commodore 64, and finally the Sinclair QL (which actually had a primative form of flash removable storage if my memory (no pun intended) does not fail me)
 
Like the machines you mentioned...a lot of people over here of my age (not saying how old :$) cut their programming teeth on this sort of kit...a happy memories, eh?

Personally I can't see needing that much, but then again when 1gb HDs first came out i thought the same thing...

doesn't surprise me at all, world of tanks installs would get ridiculously bloated after a few patch cycles, iirc I had it hit 70gb before I went for a fresh install.

For those of us that started when the 5.25" floppies were in use, that is just about mindbogling.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh!  That is nice.  I have a 64Gb SD in my tablet, to supplement the built in storage, and would love one of these as a replacement...but the question is whether the current hardware will support this capacity card.  I suspect that there will be limitations and that future hardware wil be OK but not all of the current crop of hardware.  And what about the price...$199.99 at Besy buy...so that means £199.99 here in the UK. :(
 
Thanks for posting, Nic ;)

Won't be long before 1Tb MicroSD will be available.
 
Who's in, 1.5 years, over / under?

Yeah I think the article mentioned the handful of devices that can actually handle a 128GB format.  On the plus side, now that it is out more devices will need to have support for it.

If I apply Moore's Law, that has doubling every 18 months, so I'll say it will take over 1.5 years 🙂
