<== Was the first person in his neighborhood to have a 1 GB drive. It cost me $1,820...was the size of 4 bricks...and weighed even more.

<== Only had 4 KILObytes of RAM in his first computer, and it cost hundreds of dollars.

<== Drove to a huge computer/electronics manufacturer's regional office to borrow a 15 MEGAbyte hard drive to compile an operating system kernel, because it had out-gown our 10 meg drives at work. It was an 8" drive IIRC, and had a parking lever on the side to manually pull the heads off of the discs and lock them from rotating for transport.

Get off my lawn, kid...and take that 256GB iPhone with you!!!!!
