Evergreen CF cards with useful graphs

Evergreen continues the Japanese national past-time of occupying every square centimeter with something useful, this time slapping graphs on their latest line of CompactFlash cards. On the 512MB card is a Pixel Count/Print Size relationship graph, which depicts how many megapixels you need to print an image of certain dimensions at 200dpi
(pictured above). The 1GB card features a white balance quick reference so you know how to set your camera's white balance for desired results in certain photographic situations. Finally, on the 2GB card is a suitable exposure graph,
giving the relationship between luminance, environment, and sensitivity (or ISO). Sure, there's nothing stopping you from just printing the graphs on some sticker paper and putting them on CF cards you already own, but we'll at least give Evergreen credit for coming up with the idea. On the other hand, having to remove your CF card from your camera so you can refer to a graph (before taking a picture, even) does strike us as a little counterintuitive.
