Remember "Nobody will ever need more than 640k of ram"? Now I've got 2 meg and
wish I had 4.
1st hard drive - 80mb, $800.00
current HD - 350mb, $120.00

I think you understated both of those by a factor of 1,000. You wish
you had 4 gig of RAM, not 4 meg, and your current $120 hard drive is
more likely 350gb, not 350mb. Times have changed more than you
consciously realized.
