| 100741 | 2002-11-26 07:14:00 | Tell you what, next time Im coming through Petone ( was through there yesterday to look at Turners computer auction), I'll save you the cost of taking it all to Silverstream tip, (about $8 now), and take it all off your hands, what a big favour :) | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 100742 | 2002-11-26 20:37:00 | Can you not plead that you are saving these things for their "collectible" value in years to come? Look at all those old comics that people chucked out years ago that are now worth a fortune! ;\ |

| 100743 | 2002-11-26 20:43:00 | Point noted... Check pricing on Trademe. I saw a 485 DX 66Mhz without monitor, but a 250MB HDD gor for only $25 on friday! Think about it.. You could sell it to a museum in a few years time and become a multi-millionare ;\ People will say "Look at that thing... Once upon a time a hard drive was huge when it was 200Megs! You can even fit a whole CD on there, let alone an OS" and you'll just smile, enjoying your riches! Or maybe they'll be worth nothing but sentimental value, but still, One man's trash is another man's treasure! |

| 100744 | 2002-11-26 20:58:00 | I was just saying to someone yesterday that some years ago (all right, lots of years ago) I worked as a systems programmer at a company in Australia. I remember a weekend where we had to schedule for the entire Australia-wide network to be down, so that we could upgrade the memory on the mainframe from 16Mb to 32Mb!! And the hard disks were the size of washing-machines (used to hop around the floor too!) and stored a massive 300Mb. I'd better stop ... I'm showing my age! ;-) |
