Indeed. Combine that with an IDE adapter that you can pick up on eBay 
for about $15, and you can convert any old PC into a quiet, diskless 
machine. 4 GB is big enough to hold most modern OSs without having to 
trim them down.

But are those "MicroDrive" cards solid state or mechanical drives? The 
latter might explain why they're going so cheap, and if that's the case, 
I'd pay the current going rate of about $40 for the solid state version.
