I remember somebody once commenting about the fact that they had more computing power in their pocket calculator than the Apollo (I forget which number it was) astronauts had in their space craft.

First computer I had was oooon fire! A pentium processor blazing along at 75mhz. The Hard drive was a massive 729MB.
Once I was divorced, I moved over to a 386DX40 , that had a 80MB drive, and a second 345MB drive. Cost per Meg back then was roughly $1/Mb - Now, it's more like $1/Gb.
How soon for $1/Tb ?

We had a Tandem TXP system we installed in '85. It had an even 10 300mb (RCA) disc drives. I pretty much threatened to break the fingers of anyone who opened the drives. If you left the pack in the drive and kept it closed, they would be ok for years. Our old General Automation system had 20mb drives (later upgraded to 80) and they swapped packs twice a day. We had head crashes all the time on them.
