I remember my grandfather telling me that he remembers seeing one of the first computers in England and that it took up a huge room and just calculated simple problems. And now just yesterday I was in K&M deciding whether I should buy a 8GBÂ Compact Flash card for $70 or a 4GB card for $40. Here’s what a Gigabite used to look like ony 20 years ago compared to a 1GB SD card now!!
(via Crave & ToxicJunction) I love stuff like this because it reminds me that when I’m really wanting the latest technology, that it’s all fleeting and impermanent and if I just wait another year, I’ll be wanting something new and better!

That is an IBM 3380 “J” hard drive. I used to sell those!
