My first computer was a state of the art IBM 286 that had 1 meg of ram, a CGA video card and a massive 10 meg or so hard drive that cost me over $3000 in the eighties.
I was told that I would never be able to fill that drive back then.

Gee they've come so far and gotten so much cheaper but then they'd want to other wise I still wouldn't be on line. $3000 buys a lot of coins, or one good one, or a deposit for a big one.
A wise person knows there is something to learn from everyone.

Ah, yes...

Try 8" floppies at ten bucks each that held 128 kB. We used to punch holes in them to make them double-sided.

And I remember finding a box when I was cleaning out the shop.. it had eight 4k x 1-bit chips in it, and the customs declaration was for US$129!

Care to work out how much the 32 Gb in my iPod would cost at that rate?
