Actually... barely 11 years ago. It was 2000 when the 1Ghz CPUs first hit the market. 2001 when 1.2Ghz was available for mass market.
PC Desktop memory was still in the megabytes... when Windows XP hit the market, the market for more memory... such as 256 or 512mb really hit. Far tiny compared to todays 8~16GB cell phones... but that memory usage is more for data storage of our photos, music and video.... wait a minute.
in 2000~2001, the typical 3.5" HARD DRIVE was an 8~15GB! Our 4/8/16GB SD-mini cards are smaller than a postage stamp!
