In the mid 80's, I bought a new Seagate 277R hard drive for almost $700.00. It had a 65mb capacity. I thought........how could I ever need more storage than that?

Wow, I remember both of those sizes. The PDP11 got a 5 meg hard drive. It was a single platter removable cartridge. 14 inch disk I think. Nomenclature was RK05 by Digital.

The Segate was not an MFM drive so it needed to use a RLL controller to get the full capacity. If run on an MFM controller, the size was 1/3rd smaller. Somewhere in my archive (junk heap) I may still have one of those 5.25 inch drives kicking about.

My most expensive drive is a CDC (Control Data Corporation) 40 Meg drive. It was Novel Netware certified, so it sold for $2400 US.

Here is a video of the boot sequence with the 5 meg drive.

Good memory, Tech. I though I had some serious computing power......65mb and Dos 3.3.

I remember the C64, it was the first computer I ever used. I've still got it too, only game I had that was worth playing was "Wizard of Wor" if my memory doesn't fail me.

Somewhat more recently, I remember when I thought I'd won the lottery, a 6.2GB HDD, 64MB Nvidia video card and a TV capture card. All for about $5.

Now I don't use any computer unless it has at least 2 cores, preferably 4.

not to mention pussification of the west

I thought we invented the word but no.

Saw Idiocracy, and very sadly that intro is incredibly true.

well, how should I put it....

...a real man loves pussies


you don't ?

I thought we were talking about kitties. Don't try and change the topic.

Goodness, this discussion has gone down the route of "Are You Being Shagged".

Fortunately I'm in the situation that if one becomes a "metrosexual", one doesn't survive. The country isn't very forgiving when it comes to "pussification". I refuse to listen to country "music" though, I get ostracized for that.

And yes, I do like pussies too.

Dogs have masters, pussies have slaves.

Enough innuendo now.
