FOUR TB FOR $129, Incredible!

I remember looking in awe at a 1GB drive.

I paid nearly $800 for a 20 MB SCSI hard drive. Hard to believe...

"I remember looking in awe at a 1GB drive. "
I remember paying $1200 for a 10 Megabyte hard drive in my new $8000 Columbia PC ~1981 ... 2 half height 360K floppies, dual processors (Z80/8088) in case IBM/Micro$oft failed.

That included a C.Itoh dot matrix printer, the size of a small car and a 1200 baud modem and 12" Color Monitor. Now a 64GB thumb drive is $16.00 with 2 day free delivery. Sheesh. Still give me more storage or give me death! - Too much trouble to wade through all the duplicates ... ;-)
