Remember when Windows 3.1 and a 20MB disk was high tech.
Now we get 20mb/sec transfers. What's in another 10 years?

The first 'desktop' I used had no hard drive and two 8-inch floppy disks. Each stored about 64k of data, IIRC. The processor had 64k RAM, which was more than the company mainframes had.

Yeah, I remember the MITS Altair 8800 Computer - 1975 about $400
With a mightly 256 bytes, expandable to 1k memory
There was no keyboard or display; the hobbyist programmed the computer using a panel of switches
and read the output from a panel of neon bulbs

What's in another 10 years? I'll be close to retiring, I hope. Then I can piss away even more time at my PC. Oh well, beats having a life.....[snicker]
