I remember when there wasn't 80 gig of magnetic or electronic storage on the
entire planet. I remember when a 1 gig shop filled a couple of floors of a
large building.

My new laptop outperforms supercomputers that cost tens of millions of
dollars 20 years ago.

About 8 years ago I was driving my youngster to preschool and giving
her the "Back in my day. . ." talk. After winning her pity for having
grown up without phones that weren't tethered to the wall and cartoons
only on Saturday mornings, I explained that in my younger days
computers were as big as the house we were passing. Without missing a
beat, she wondered, "How did you get it out of the store?"
