VERY amazing!!!


If only gas mileage, 401K income or solar panel efficiency matched the gains
in memory capacity in the last few decades. A 2 TB hard disk costs $100
these days. I remember paying $600 for one of the early 20MB drives. It
would take 1000 of them to equal 2TB (I think!) - that would be $600,000 in
20MB drives.
