Oh God, here we go... the first hard drive I ever used was the size of a small outhouse and could store 1 K bytes and used 5 megawatts of power, 3 of which were for the cooling system, etc., etc., etc.

Frisk Frank will come back with something along the lines of.

I used to have a data master 8MB horizontally opposed drive mounted on a rubber z-framed shock buffer. SOB was hard to get working properly but once it was the sound was sweet and you could turn it upside down with out any data loss.

Or something like that

Back in the old days we used stone tablets.....

^OK, here we go.
My first hard drive was the size of Wales, the cooling system provided hot water for the whole of Yorkshire, it used 3000 tetra watts of electricity (on idle) and held enough data to address an envelope.
But try telling that to the youth of today.

You guys are lame. Real men go for VAX

My other VAX is a VAXbar

SGI - The Silicon Graphics Refrigerator Project

^^Not sure if that is Geek or Gay

I turned an old DEC Alpha server into an end table two years ago.

I have close to 200 GB of Porn now, downloaded from hacked websites. No time to watch it. I might as well throw it away. Or open a private site.

sheep porn ?

I just bought a 160 gig hard drive with external casing.
Why on earth is a 120 gig hard drive 40 baht more expensive?
Both seagate.
Was I duped, I'm easily duped.
I didn't buy the UPS because it was too heavy, we had a storm this afternoon, Got home and the computer had clearly been cut.
My re boot took at least 15 minutes.
Is my problem the g drive that I haven't yet disconnected or a m ore serious one.

Probably due to the dodgy HD. I had the same problem before. Get that data off it and get the thing disconnected.

cheers Marmite.
I'll do that in a sec.

Another question, unrelated, one that's pissing me off right now.
When i click on the bring screen away icon in the top right, it usually ends up at the bottom of the tool bar.
i have a problem now.
when I click on the icon.. you know the little minus one next to the full screen icon next to the x in a red box, the screen I am looking at now disappears and I have to restart firefox to get back to the same place. what's up there?

Bigger read-ahead-cache memory ?
Higher rotational speed ( = higher transfer rate) ?

You shouldn't need to restart FF. Is FF listed on the task manager? If it is, just use that to retrieve it.

I think he's going for another century, folks!!

I hope the next lightning strike fries your modem, your PC and your hard disk, and your PC catches fire. You've been told enough times!

I refuse to contribute to the count. You're on your own CMN.

My old company bought 20 Alpha 3,000's when they first came out. Incredibly reliable machines with Open VMS o/s.

Before that I used to program Dec PDP11's in assembler. And an RL02 disk drive was about 14" across, 3" deep and held an enormous 10 MB! (Or was it 5?)



It even has a small "shock" indicator that turned red if it was bumped, so you weren't allowed to put it in the drive for fear of it trashing the drive once it had spun up and vibrated everything to bits.

Loved those oversized Washing Machine with those circular drives

RL01 was 5MB (single side) while RL02 was 10MB (dual side).
