People aren't really good at dealing with large/small numbers, right?

Davy: When I got my 4501 I bought a cheap no-name CF card on the same 
day. I don't remember when that was, but it's a long time ago. The 4501 
had a three-digit serial number. That card's been used continuously 
since, and cards made now are supposed to be much more durable. So 
relax.
