Prior to hard drives we used 8-inch floppys for mass storage.

We bought an older mainframe computer at a school auction once. It has some of those. I'd never seen floppies that big before. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Every now and then I still find a box of sealed 5.25" floppies. Always makes me wonder if I should buy them to eBay someday when they're a rare collectors item. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

mmmmmm 20mb hard drives. I remember when I came home with a new computer running a 486 DX2 at 50mhz with 400mb of harddrive and a 14400 model. My dad thought I was the schnizzle.



Our first home computer was a 486 Dx2 33Mhz with a massive 170mb hard drive. That was a middle of the road model when we bought it.

And you could still probably play X-wing fighter.


LOL.....If I reduced the picture to the size of a business card. The 4MB Graphic card was a bit taxed LOL

why can't people discuss their stuff without slamming someone elses product?

What sent me off the depend was when Gibson fan stated that Scrapyard is lower in Quality Control.

You know with BF I take what I want from it, and leave the rest. I am a regular there, and there are some good folks there, who DO want to help out. And yes, there are the trolls/tools, whatever you want to call 'em. I take the good, and leave the BS.
So true TKC..

Well, the link is right there on the pic, so I think you can figure it out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I have Bill Gates mugshot around here somewhere too...from smokingun.com
