thumb drives are so five minutes ago...it’s 16GB SDHC cards and such (maybe 32 or 64 GB now)...

Most "enterprise" computers don't have card readers, while they all have USB ports.

Of course I guess you could just get a USB card reader, buy why bother when you've got 64GB or 128GB USB "thumb" drives?

Remember 5 1/4 inch floppies? The floppies at work I used were 8 inchers!

You trying to "start a war here" for the "oldest tech?" ;-)

You just stepped in it. I still have a Curta calculator that I bought in 1970 that’s still in perfect working condition, in its original box, and with its original insructions. Now, beat that!

You guys never heard of punch cards? Of course my first machine used a tape recorder. :)
