I'm Getting Old

[bjarvis]

About 15 years ago, I spent something like $5k CDN to purchase a 32 MB VME memory board --about 18 inches on each side-- for a Sun 4/280.

Today at Staples, there was a bin at the checkout counter of 64 MB flash memory USB fobs for $7.60 each. At first glance, I mistook them for candy.

Gad.

I was using it for MIDI sequencing, for which it was excellent. Ironically, I bought a PC because I was worried about the durability of a machine that relied on an old floppy drive. Three years later, that PC suffered a sudden and total hard drive failure, taking all my work with it.

I still have the Atari floppies though.
