I worked at a puter place in the late 80's. They had old hard drives |
11 |
that were only a few MBs and had 14" platters. Yes, 14" platters. |

Funny thing is, you could replace the platters in those. You open the |
13 |
drive, replace platter, reassemble drive, turn on fan which had a hefty |

filter on the intake. Once it ran long enough to have clean air inside, |
15 |
spin up the drive and go back to work. |

I even remember when 512KBs of ram was a big deal. I also remember |

having expansion cards that would add a few MBs of ram. Jeez I'm |

getting old. o_O We talk about TBs like they are nothing. My first |

puter was a old Vic-20. 4Kbs of ram it had. I played music on that |

thing and freaked my Dad out. ROFL |
