According to my calculations, that's enough for:
* About 1½ minutes of uncompressed CD-quality stereo audio;
* Over a half-hour of uncompressed phone-quality audio;
* Over 1300 pages of fax-encoded scanned pages with typical compression;
* Over 3000 standard typewritten pages, blank-padded, uncompressed;
* 32 photographs at the resolution and quality settings I typically
use with my wife's digital camera;
* 500k lines of code, uncompressed.
I have a GNUcash data file with almost three years' worth of data that's
only 330k, and a "Personal Ancestral File" data-file with information
about thousands of my dad's ancestors that's only 13 MB. I could put
both of them on such a card.
