>>> remember when the first 10 Megabyte drive came out for $15,000?

nope, but do remember in 1967 trying to program the entire accounting system of a NYSE listed company on an IBM 360 with TOTAL memory of 4k

that's why the y2k issues; saving 2 digits was huge

times have changed a tad

Hey Scott, I remember Winchester 10Mb HD's just 11 years ago. DOS 3.1 couldn't format the whole drive so you had to partition it into multiple drives. 1 year in computer technology is equal to 100 years in the industrial revolution. That is why the tech stocks have such high PE's or high caps w/o earnings... jimbob
