Speaking Of Which

Back in the day, 80GB of disk would look like a warehouse full of washing machines.

The good thing was that this made it much harder to put it down somewhere and lose it.

1 Did you look under the garage-sized floppy drive?

2 You lost 80 GB of anime? Now if I had 80 GB of anime to lose (and, frightening thought, I must - on dvd at least) I'd place it in a shrine. With candles, and bowl for lighting incense. Not under the pile of papers on the desk, or double-shelved in that corner, or under the couch cushions - or wherever it has disappeared to.

3 No, I lost the legal department's off-site backup drive. Much less important.

4 My anime is much harder to lose, seeing as it's an 8-disk RAID array.

5 Just as long as the RAID array isn't made out of drives from Western Digital which have that bug.

6 Good to see you have your priorities straight...

7 Physically, the largest drive in my collection is a 5 megabyte aftermarket drive for the TRS80, with the files from an old BBS still on it. It's a 5-1/4 full height, but the case is sized like an 8 inch drive so people will take it seriously. I had a pair of 20 meg end tables, but left them behind when we moved.

8 Triticale, what are you using to get onto the internet, an abacus?
