Woot is currently selling 64 and 32 megabyte RAM sticks as a joke 😭

Many years ago I clearly advertised a 32 MB Canon SD card that came with an ancient digital camera. People bid on it like it was a 32 GB card, then quite expensive, and the guy who won the auction either clearly wanted it or, more likely, was too embarrassed to complain when he realised.

I still have two or three of those, along with a 128 MB SD card for installing firmware on embedded equipment. They may be small in capacity but they're worth their weight in gold when you need them.

Yeah, this. There's tons of esoteric old stuff that just doesn't work with anything newer. And a lot of it is in the sorts of embedded/industrial systems that entire enterprises are built around. "Grossly overpay for the archaic thing you need or go out of business" isn't a hard choice to make.
