   Hardly anyone uses a card to do that.

   No, I was talking about the time it takes to put what   
   you want on the card, however you choose to do that.   
      
   I do in fact do that with the movies the neighbours   
   kids get to torrent for them, with USB sticks that   
   they then put in their PS3s and PS4 to watch them.

   So was I, but you obviously have to put it on the   
   card in the first place and that is what takes the time.

   I know I don’t, because what matters is how long   
   it takes to put it on the card in the first place.

   But doesn’t with the time it takes to put it on the card in the first place.
