The "new" intel flash cards were one of the features of a local computer
show here recently ... one of the Sales guys advised me that they
weren't actually for sale yet, but when they will be around
the US$800.00 mark for a 20 Mb card.  Isn't this is a little expensive for
a solid state device?  Were 3.5 inch floppy disks anything like this price
when they first came out?

I also enquired into the price of the Overdrive processor - about US$800
also!!  (I commented that I could purchase a brand new 486DX33 motherboard
for about this price - he commented that this is new wonderful technology  
that is bound to go down in price once the market settles down, just as
the 387's did).  Hmmm.

Any comments on these pricing policies?
