: ...down in the underground was a marvel
: of state of the art computing powwer....a room about the size of a
: basketball court...Airconditioned of course...with row upon row of
: Winchester disk drives (30/30...) each being about the size of a
: household dishwasher (the mechanical one) all of them together had
: less memory I imagine than I have in my laptop...and I only have 1.2 gig.
About four years ago I sold my 100MB external disk to a friend
(when I got an internal 120MB for my notebook, recently retired).
He's still using it, but lately he craves more space.
He made a phone call:
"...How much for, say, a hundred meg?"
"They don't make 'em under a gigabyte anymore."
I remember that once upon a time I could remember
when it was possible to buy a 5MB disk.
