DAMN!!

I bought my very first hard drive for $400. It was a 40mb drive that I put into an IBM PS/2 model 25 (How you gonna do it? PS/2 it!), replacing one of the two 720kb 3.5" floppy drives. I was never a PC person before that, but I had won my PS/2 in a drawing that IBM did on campus at the University of Waterloo, way way back when I was a grad student there. Summer of 1989, to be exact. That PC is what turned me away from Unix and MVS - I was THIS close to being a mainframe programmer.

Anyway, fast forward almost eighteen years. I just bought a hard drive for $400:

DAMN!!

I know you don't need all that space. You just bought it because it's cool.

I do, I really, really,really do need more storage! More is better! Especially when recording TV via Media Center - the more storage you have, the less you have to worry about what gets deleted when. And don't even get me started about hi def! :-)
