Which to me is a far better way to spend your money than on frivolous fancy coloured boxes that do the same job at 5x the cost |

| 862333 | 2010-02-28 08:24:00 | Yeah, welcome back Convair. My first PC (ignoring the 64K Spectrum) was an 8086 (I think) with 480K. I remember adding chips (RAM modules) to bring it up to a massive 640K. In those days the memory was a black plastic block, about the size of a lego, with 12 or so metal legs hanging out the sides. Had about 12MB HDD if memory serves. It was replaced with a machine with a 'massive' 20MB HDD, which sadly was fired when it's cable worked loose from the edge of the circuit board (before the IDE connector). It was replaced with a 40MB HDD, at great expense, but I thought I was a #&*$@ king with all those MB! Now I'm hanging out for 3TB drives. Who'd have ever imagined storage needs would go so crazy. |

There were 150 of us living in a shoe box in the middle of a road. We dreamed of living in a lake." You had it easy In the early 90s hdds were around $1 per meg. Imagine the price of a terabyte drive lol. There was a DSE ad the new 25 mb hard drive all you will ever need. |
