Thinking about the current storage capacity of my card index collection, I made a back-of-the-index-card calculation:
172,000 index cards * 150 words / card [average maximum, using front only] * 1,200 bytes / 150 words [rough average with Unicode encoding] * 1 kb / 1024 bytes * 1MB/1024 kb = approximately 200 MB of text storage
Having it well organized and indexed… Priceless.
@chrisaldrich love those little drawers.
Personal notes for week 40 of 2025
Oops, you forgot the Macey cabinet puts you over 200,000 cards of storage…
