I can't believe you got two of them. I have no idea how I would ever fill 30 mb up. Seriously though, it amazes me in how far we've come in a relatively short period of time.

Wonder how old that ad was... I remember a hard drive "sale" in 1994 where drives were being cleared out at $1/MB.

Ah Tandy. The Tandy 1000 was my first computer back in the day. So expensive and all I did on it was a little word processing and play a bunch of King's Quest.
