    So I decided to total up my various devices I have ON ME AT THE MOMENT (not counting my portable HDD or Laptop I have at home and not counting this works laptop I'm using just now) It kind of shocked me.

    IPAQ H5550 - 4Gb SD card, Expansion Pack with 2 x 2GB Compact Flash = 8 GB
    Iomega mini HDD usb - 40GB
    Creative Labs Zen Touch - 20GB
    Sony Ericsson K800i + 2GB M2 Micro card = 2GB
    USB Pen Drive - 4 GB

    totalling all that little lot up I would be capable (assuming I emptied my various cards out , deleted mp3's etc) to pinch up to 74GB of confidential works information and sneak out the front door with it.

    Now I know there are bigger portable HDD's out there (the big brother to my Iomega one is 100GB) so I'm expecting other geeks to beat me easily.

    What's your current storage capacity

    (I'm beginning to thing Johnny mnemonic didn't need to risk his head after all )
    Well totaling up my various gadgets come to

    USB memory stick 4GB
    IRiver H320 40GB
    Portable USB hardrive = 80GB
    IPAQ HX4600 = 64MB + 4GB SDcard + 1GB microdrive
    Sony T7 camera = 4GB
    Nokia N73 = 2GB

    Total = 139GB

    My mobile phone probably has a few kilobytes on it. Just enough to store 100 phone numbers and about 30 odd texts I think.

    Oh hang on, my camera has a 1gb card and a 256mb one. Doh!!! And I wanted to win the lowest award too with my really old phone.

    I forgot to mention..

    Pad of A4 paper and pencil. Each character I write is one byte

    depending on how small I write and if I use both sides.. that has to count for a few megabytes at least too

    You aren't writing some non-ASCII characters then?

    What encoding are you using?

    I could write in all 1's and 0's if you wanted.. but that would take up much more space on the paper.

    I could use fullstops and dashes though. would be flaming hard to read though!

    -...-...-..-....-...-.-.-..-..---..--.---..-...---.--...-...-.----.------..-.--.-...-.----......
