Hey your guys are just youngsters. I remember my first 40 Megabyte drive. Cost me $500.00. In 1991 I was a project officer on a large database contract. The contractor needed my approval for large purchases. One item he needed my approval for was 10,000 US$ for a one gigabyte hard drive. At that time people were concerned about how we were going to handle terabytes of data.

I remember when I bought a external Jazz drive that used 1 gig cartridges.  My god, it doesn't get any better than this I thought.  My computer had a built in zip drive that could handle 100 meg cartridges.
