They should add the cost of computer memory to the other FR article about how living in America is so much cheaper under Joe Biden.

That’s about what I paid for my first HDD. $3,000.00! 10 MB.

Man what a kick in the head.

It’s truly amazing how much the technology has progressed through the years. I recently bought a new laptop (Windows 11) with a 1 terabyte hard drive.

I also have two external hard drives that each will fit into a pocket of my cargo shorts. Each one is 4 terabytes. Minus space for operating systems, I have over 8 terabytes at my disposal.

Who knows what’s going to be available in the next 20-30 years?

I happened to spot this newspaper ad just yesterday.

Advice Needed: Does this look like a good deal to you all?

Can I maybe do better if I wait a few months? .... A few years? .... 20 years? .... 30 years?

Sorry it's so wrinkled. It was wrapped around one of the cups in a box in my basement.
