Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] This just in...the 1 Terabyte hard disk drive...

["Christian M. Cepel" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Heh.. Mine was a 20mb in a Leading Edge Model D.  I still remember 
paying $320 to upgrade someone's pc to 8mb of ram.  And throwing away 
quarter and half meg ram boards for old apples.  But I'm sure if this 
came to a pissing contest I will be beat pretty soundly.

Who remembers the luxury of having two disk drives so you could load the 
OS and a program w/o having to switch disks?
