i have bought loads in the past.

i loved them but they were expensive.

in the uk they sold for about £10.

also after so long the drives had that click of death thing.

I know the feeling. My first PC was a Pentium 75 with 8mb RAM, 80MB hard drive running Windows 3.11 lol

Trumpet Winsock all the way. lol

I remember when I bought a Mac+ in the 80s.... 4MB RAM, and a 20MB hard drive... It was the ultimate in it's day....

(BTW Yngwie.... The real Malmstein lives near me in North Miami. I see him at the car wash all the time.)

When I got into IT in 1982, we were paying $30,000 for the DEC RA81, which was a huge, multi-platter removable disk that had 10MB of storage space on each one. And we thought that was a huge amount of space! Plus in college (1980), we used these giant IBM key-to-disk machines and all they did was to let you key in a computer program (or any text I suppose) and save it onto an 8" floppy disk. The thing was huge but I'll bet if you opened it up, it weas mostly empty (although circuit boards were a lot bigger and less dense than nowadays). Ah, those were the days - I miss them but not for the computer hardware. There was one big advantage - us IT guys were gods back then. When we talked, management listened. And we got paid a lot of dough and the chicks dug us big-time. Well, maybe not that last part.

I still have some of those somewhere around my place. and one of those old IBM punch cards.

and these days you can get a 1tb hard drive for $100 or less.

Yep, I remember using them too and how cool it was to be the first in town to have a JAZ drive, lol

**Davy** · 05-26-2010, 06:42 AM

I never used zip drives. Went straight from floppies to CD-Rs.
