This seems like it would work, but the average person has no idea how high mount Everest is. My favorite way of explaining it is when I was looking at Mount Olympus from the beach, and said "you see the mountain? If you stack two more Olympuses on top of that, it still wouldn't reach Everest".

Another way: taking the 720kb variety floppy, if you lay them side by side it would form a line of 250km in length. Or in other words: driving at highway speed, it would take 2 and a half hours to drive by all the floppies it would take to store what one of these new micro SD card can hold.

Then again you never look at Mt Everest from sea level.

Technically true, but the base of Mt Everest is at 5100 meters, which makes it a lot less impressive. The entirely Himalayan range is sitting two vertical miles above sea level.
