Picture it, the year was 1999. I had promised to treat myself to a new hard drive the moment the one I wanted was available for under $1,000. (Yes, that is one thousand).
The drive in question was a 9GB drive. I still have it; works fine in an external case.
Now I can buy an 8GB drive on a chip, the whole thing is so tiny it fits in my ear, it costs a lousy $29.99 and everybody screams... $30 for just 8GB.... are they crazy ?
... and the sad part is; I have to agree. I have one of those car radios and if it was 16GB I'd not waste my time writing this; I'd go surfing to buy one. But $30 for 8GB..... nah. Maybe I hook up my old 9GB drive to the car stereo; yeah, that will be my weekend project !
Have a smile folks, the weekend is upon us
