ok.. That means 1gb would ave been an airplane
Nobody at that time even thought beyond 10MB talk less of GB. They didn't think that much disk space was necessary.

REAL MORAL: Keep improving, you will surely be better. The same IBM is still around today producing world's most sophisticated computer wares.

LOL. This 5MB drive na wa oh!
I remember when I first got into the world of computers in the 90s. In the business centre where I worked, our best system then had a 1MB RAM and a 40MB hard drive. Later, we got another computer with 5MB RAM and 270MB hard drive. I was wowed. Now my phone has a 1GB ram and 32GB drive. Things have really changed!

Another lesson learned, people you see buying on 2gb memory card in the market today would be buying 2Tb memory devices in the near future. Is it me or do our need for higher memory capacity increase with improving info-tech?
