Terabytes

It's almost inconceivable -- that today I obtained my first terabyte of hard disk data storage. I needed to get an external drive to move all my music onto and was planning on getting 500GB but found a good deal on a 750GB unit. In addition to the 250GB hard drive on the computer (which was full and initiated the purchase in the first place), that makes for a whole lotta data potential. My first home Windows PC in 1995 had 1.6GB -- humungous for that time. I couldn't believe I'd ever be able to fill it when I bought it. A terabyte back then was for supercomputers!

It's never ceases to amaze me how everything grows and evolves and becomes powerful and interactive. I'm such an old fart already.
