Lexar's 1TB SD card is the first you can actually buy
SanDisk showed off a 1TB SD prototype a couple of years ago, but the final product never made it to market. Lexar's Professional 633x line of SDHC and SDXC UHS-I cards, however, is now listed for sale in capacities from 16GB all the way up to the flagship 1TB. That card claims read speeds of up to 95MB/s and write speeds of 70MB/s, though it's only rated as V30/U3, which guarantees sustained write performance of 30MB/s.
(Not microSD.)

Oh yes, it's true. She never had any treatment that I know of, no. I think it very possible it could have helped her. But despite her wacky thinking, she was able to function in society well enough to get by, and stay out of the mental institutions. Actually even better than that. In a lot of ways, she's like the typical evangelical con artist who doesn't know he's a con artist. Don't think she ever tried to claim that she was the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ, or that might have been enough to persuade everyone to put her away. No odd behaviors or anything else that would immediately mark her as nuts. Had to hear her talk for a bit to learn that she was cuckoo. She didn't find Jesus until adulthood. Before that, she wasn't so nuts, though she did have a tendency to go overboard on things.
She had a teaching job in the public school system until she was fired for trying to "teach the controversy". She's an ordained reverend. I have no idea what sect. She also ran an alternative health business, which in addition to dubious drugs, included faith healing. One of the craziest of her stunts (that I heard of) was the application of faith healing to ... a lawn mower! She was also very happy and proud that she once made it into Business Week. They used a photo of her as an example of the sort of people who peddle dubious drugs for this alternative health company. That the article was extremely critical of the business, pointing out that she was basically a fraud, did not seem to matter to her in the slightest. Seems there were enough credulous religious supplicants and sick people to support her after she lost the teaching job. Still, when she visited the family, she'd come in shabby clothes and see her mother first. Her mother would be embarrassed and hastily take her shopping to buy some new clothes for her to put on so the rest of the family wouldn't see her looking so ragged.
Tragic, really. She's actually pretty smart. Baffling how she can be so stupid about reality, or more like, willfully blind. If a mind is a terrible thing to waste, she did it and how.
For those who think they're Jesus, I guess this town, heck this whole world, ain't big enough for more than one Jesus.

Thanks for that bzipitidoo. People's family stories are really interesting, and often make mine look positively normal.
