Mac OSX El Capitan Update . . .
I was just doing the upgrade and noticed that it was only 826 MB
Where are the days when I bought my brand new Sinclair ZX-81 with 1 kB on board and the 16 kB extension memory block . . . |

I still mentally measure the size of downloads by how many "high density" diskettes it would take. Your update would take 400 of these.

It's funny to think that each of our Cell phones is more powerful than a room full of computers in the 1990s

Those days are gone as are the days of CRTs and OysterQuartz.

I was at my parent's house for the 4th of July. They never throw anything away as long as it's working. Tucked away in the basement, they have an old IBM PC that runs Windows 3.1 with a 33mhz processor and a whopping 80mb hard drive! I still remember when it was new. My friends were so impressed how fast the 14.4k modem was. |

There is a new hard drive the size of a postage stamp that has enough capacity to hold every book in the world ever written.
That was the news on the radio this morning. Mind blowing!!!
