open to minor negotiations on the price :thumbsup

wouldn't be surprised if it is actually worth that by now

15 million characters?

Sounds like the fucking future!

Looks like a good deal..epass?

Haha good find :)

That's insane!

What the hell is anyone ever going to use FIFTEEN MEGABYTES for?

I've seen some old (25-30 year) HDs listed on data recovery buy/sell sites for $1k+. They probably have one of each sitting there doing nothing, hoping one day that a some important device containing the HD will fail, and a replacement will be needed in a hurry, cost no argument...

well thats with everything wonder how much the first color tv's went for

i remember very good that a Compaq 386 with 1 mb RAM, VGA color graphics and a 10 mb HD cost around $15,000 in 1987 or 88

Dollars were twice as valuable then, too. That's a $5,000 hard drive.

We wouldnt have thought something like the iPhone was possible back then - Try and imagine wants coming...

You guys are too old :winkwink:

I remember our first family computer when I was 11 years old.

ATX 486 50mhz 4mb ram(I upgraded to 8 and was in warp speed a couple of months after). We had windows 3.1 and Internet through netscape navigator 1. It was in 1994 :thumbsup

The 486 was about $3500 when it came out.

Amazing that now you can buy that in a stick at the grocery store to hold a few gig's for under 50$

This is ad was from a simpler time -- when people didn't have shit to put on hard drives. Just "characters".

Mmmmmm. ASCII Porn

My uncle sold me a full height 5MB (megabytes, not gigabytes) hard drive a few years ago for $5, purely for curiosity really as I didn't have the correct interface for it. New, maybe in the late 1970s or early 1980s, it would have cost thousands.
