Poll: Personal Storage
I was dumping out my backpack today and I realized something: I carry a lot of storage. Not including my laptop's harddrive, I had a 1gb Nano, a 1gb card in my camera, and a 1gb card in my phone, for a 3gb total. That's a lot of storage bouncing around in a backpack -- more than 100 times the capacity of the first harddrive I ever owned -- especially when you consider that as recently as five years ago I carried zero portable storage.So, how much non-computer storage do you carry with you?

Yes, a number of people pointed out the error to me in email within seconds of posting. It's now fixed. Ugh.
A bit of a selection bias in who responds to this survey. I would guess that the results are overstated because it's a survey of people that take the time to (1) read blog posts about carrying storage and (2) respond to surveys about how much storage they carry.
As the smallest Nano is 1GB, I suspect you mean all your 'mb' to be 'GB'.
