in the blink of an eye that will all look old hat and ridiculously oversized. When I started in computing in 1981 I worked for an international brewing and tobacco company. Our machine room looked like this ICL 2966 set-up in the National Computing Museum (see http://techtinkering.com/2010/06/15/the-national-museum-of-computing-at-blet chley-park/ - sponsored by Google, thanks) only ours was 2 or 3 times the size. It was very impressive in its day, and I loved working in there at night when there was no-one around. The amount of storage we had at that time, to run a whole multinational company, would fit with plenty of room to spare on the mini-SD card, the size of my small fingernail, in my portable phone. Your time will come!
