Gawd. Imagine how many tonnes of punched cards these things could have replaced if we still used them.

Date: 2006-04-27 03:55 pm (UTC)I actually do not know why we're running out of space on the computer in question. It's shared by everyone in the household (though I only use it to play Sims 2 and Age of Empires), so I suspect that somebody in my house is storing lots of, um, stuff. We were down to 1GB left on a 120GB drive the other night.
It seems almost absurd that even through storage capacity grows by leaps and bounds, we're always almost out of room...
JOhn.
