Hi Curt - you wrote <<I've got 24TB thats, terrabytes>>
Wow! TB's - that's too much to comprehend. I guess it won't be long that
the home user will be able to buy TB storage.
I started using computers back when we used punch cards and there was no
such thing as a monitor - the data or program was input & had to be re-run
and a paper output printed to see results. Then we moved to offsite
computer useage where we had a computer input clerk who typed the data into
a onsite monitor which then ransmitted the data to a mainframe - we used the
McDonald-Douglas mainframe which costs the project $15k-$20k per month.
The day of PCs really saved a lot of money! Having a PC (remember the
suitcase IBM PCs) on our desk was a major break-thru.
Of course, back then we usually had only 256k memory to work with - back in
the early 80s I bought a TRS80 - does that sound right? I mostly remember
having to attach a cassette player to save any programs (very crude) I had
written because there was *no* memory. Ahhh, the good old days...

Hey Larry,
In my classroom I've got 24TB thats, terrabytes. The system I train
supports up to 192TB.
Its amazing, when I bought my first computer in college it had a 40Mb
harddrive which I upgraded to 640Mb and I thought I was hot stuff.

Thanks Werner --
I'm discovering a huge world of different MP3's and iPod's -
including
some without *any* memory sticks* - gotta watch the amd read the
descriptions carefully!
I've learned that 1 or 2 GBs will be plently of storage for us -
mostly
Debbie and her books-on-tape which I have found takes very little
space.
I still find it amazing to recall when PCs began to arrive in our
corp
tech center - the better ones had 4mb's of HDs followed 6 months later
or so
by 8mb's and then 16mb which meant we were hot stuff. ;-) and eveyone
knows how fast things went from there - doubling every 3-9 months - in
speed
and capacity. When I think back to 4mbs and the need too unload some
programs to make room for others.
We couldn't *comprehend* a Gigabytye then (still can't) and now I
have
500 or more GBs in my desktop. Things have changed a lot -
* - just a few days ago I didn;t know what a memory stick was!
