And also amazing that solid state thumb drives now are 1GB and more.

Wow! A terabyte for 300 bucks!

I started in 1980 on a Timex-Sinclair with a (wince) tape-drive. No disk storage at all. Then graduated "up" to a commodore vic 20 with a (wince) tape drive. Then graduated up to a c64 which DID in fact have a disk drive (rattled a LOT though).

Finally, I hit the big leagues and got an 8086 pc with 640 memory, 20 meg drive and 4 color cga as a christmas bonus from work.

Sigh.

LOL. Looking at my next one even as we speak. Q6600 Intel quad-core with 4 gig of memory and a 1 terabyte drive.

My how times change over a short 27 years.

Well, I'm off to take my anti-alzheimers meds now.

So it’s 25,000 more memory for less than money. Crazy.
