When I got into IT in 1982, we were paying $30,000 for the DEC RA81, which was a huge, multi-platter removable disk that had 10MB of storage space on each one. And we thought that was a huge amount of space! Plus in college (1980), we used these giant IBM key-to-disk machines and all they did was to let you key in a computer program (or any text I suppose) and save it onto an 8" floppy disk. The thing was huge but I'll bet if you opened it up, it weas mostly empty (although circuit boards were a lot bigger and less dense than nowadays). Ah, those were the days - I miss them but not for the computer hardware. There was one big advantage - us IT guys were gods back then. When we talked, management listened. And we got paid a lot of dough and the chicks dug us big-time. Well, maybe not that last part.

M0nk · 05-25-2010, 02:57 PM

I still have some of those somewhere around my place. and one of those old IBM punch cards.
