jude77 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 14 TB is that possible?!?!?! Is it missing a decimal point? Should it be 1.4? How much longer will it be until we have HDs in the hundreds of TB? I'm kind of amazed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my day, we were over the moon when double sided double density floppy disks were introduced with a whopping 720KB capacity. And we couldn't believe it when high density was introduce with 1.2MB total. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Yep....5 and a quarters were 360 kb and then 720 kb...and 3 and half were 720 kb and then 1.44 mb! The 1.44's were the big time! Edited January 27, 2021 by Larry Shelby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when Windows 3.0 came out I was in HEAVEN! I could FINALLY run multiple DOS Programs and copy Data from one Window to another! Saved me HOURS of Data Entry!

Doug Rintoul Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Now I am going to really show my age. My first programs were written using punched cards and fed into an IBM 360/370 mainframe. My first actual computer was an Atari 400 with a tape drive, followed by a Commodore 64 with a single floppy drive. This was followed by an Atari 520ST. The great thing about the ST is that it had MIDI ports and I bought a Yamaha DX21 to hook up to the ST and wrote my own crude sequencer to control it. Glory days they were. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse g Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I had a Mac Plus with a Systems 6 and 7 disk. I would drive it to college and carry it around because it had a handle in the back. I though I was something. I next purchased a Mac Performa 405 and was in heaven with the 80 MB Hard drive, Then I met Windows 3.1 and it changed my life when they got Windows 95 right I never went back to Mac.
