my first computer had no hard drive. Back in the stone age when we all said "100MB?? we will never need that much storage space!"

To boot the computer took a while with a giant floppy disk....
The screen was in black and white text.

The first HD I put on a computer was 2MB.. or maybe 4 mb.
we thought we hit the big time there.

My newest laptop has a 160GB HD and widescreen (color no less!)
yeah you aint kiddin.... we have run far, and fast.

I remember when "the internet" was phoning up BBS phone numbers. you didnt surf from site to site.... you used a modem that was somewhere between dead slow and dead slow to phone each "site" (a BBS server).

only the big boys and the government had "the internet".

I remember how tripped out we were to get windows 3.1 and how windows 95 was "that great thing we gotta get someday".

all that way in what.... 20+ yrs?
yikes.

whats gonna be in the next 20 yrs.... micro-usb ports in your skull you get installed at a store in the mall, as easy as you get your ears pierced?

I'm there.... plug me in.
lol
