Anyone remember the 96-column cards? I'd like to find a box of them.

Hi John and Ed,
Yowsers!
That's really tiny! Just in my career - The first machine I was paid
to work with was a 4341 with 8MB and 8 channels. My IPhone has 32MB. The
possibilities of 2.5 Petabytes is, well, an awful lot. I can't help but
wonder what some of the early computing pioneers would think of this.
I suspect your iPhone has 32GB, not MB...
And let's not start swapping "You had 8MB? We had 5 bytes...and we
LOVED it!" stories, eh?
Related, however: this could make a reality something I read a while
ago suggestion that memory would soon be cheap enough that we could
have HD video of our surroundings recording constantly. This
could/would change things a fair bit, both good and bad.
