Back in 1985 when i worked for IBM the first harddisk arrived at the office,50MB.....state of the art technology then and we were the first in Europe to receive one....everybody wanted a look so we had extra coffee and chairs so people could wait for their turn to watch 'the magic' as we called it...the price was something like a new house i remember that..

We had a great offer from the company,the 'mother of all pc's' the 8086 processor.A 14 inch monochrome monitor,a keyboard and 2 floppydirves ,2! for the small amout of only 17.000 which was really cheap back then!I declined the offer because i had a Commodore 64(couldnt tell the company about that in those days)..10 years later i did buy one just for nostalgia,i paid $300...an a colour monitor included..

But that 1GB looks really cool,wouldnt mind installing one just for the looks..

we came a long way,micro SD 16GB.....in a mobile phone
