Great idea. I should have thought of that myself since I've already
been taught a similar trick of turning AA's one way or the other in
their plastic carry case depending on charged or discharged.
On a similar note a friend has a CF card wallet with pockets on two
sides. Freshly formatted cards go in one side and used cards go in the
other. I mark my CF cards sequentially within capacity. For example, I
have three 2GB CF cards marked 2-A, 2-B and 2-C. I try to use them in
sequential order which also helps to keep things a bit better organized.
But they're seeing less use these days since I got the 8-A.
