It's interesting that you don't seem to realize you proved my point.
You paid dearly to buy back that sd functionality that didn't exist, Arno.

You don't seem to realize that it was critically important to you, Arno.

Otherwise why did you pay something like ten times the cost to buy back
what would have only cost you about 20 bucks for the extra sd storage?

Well, we all had phones that lacked internal storage, and in those early
days, we actually tried to use "extended storage" (which is a bitch).

But we all grew out of the need for "extended storage" years ago.
Now we pop in a 512GB sd card and voila! We have more storage.

At a fraction of the cost of internal storage.
And with far more utility than internal storage could ever have.
