Thanks.

I remember back when I worked for Cray Research and the Cray II came out
with 2 gigs of memory and everyone was astounded.  You can get that in a
laptop now, as a standard offering.  Desktops typically have that or
more now.

To get a terabyte of storage back then required a CD jukebox...no way
anyone could have afforded that much RAM, and few could have handled
that much HD.
