When you think my N95 black has an electronic 8GB hard drive, its quite amazing really

 

In about 2000, I bought a Sony Vaio laptop.

 

It had a 750MHz processor, 8Gb of storage and 64Mb (count'em - that's 64Mb) of RAM.

 

Stupidly I also paid about £400 for 3 years of breakdown cover on it. The whole lot cost me about £2,200!

 

Look at what £2k will buy you now!!

The first mainframe computer I worked with had 256k of memory. Ran a bank of disk drives (with swappable disks), half a dozen tape drives, a couple of line printers, a card reader, a paper tape reader, a card punch, and an optical character reader, and, amongst other things, processed the payroll for 40,000 people.

 

You youngsters don't know you're born! :)
