A 5MB IBM Hard Drive Being Loaded Onto An Airplane In 1956

How else were they gonna drop Hillary’s grandmother’s emails in the ocean?

I predict that within a century, computers will be twice as powerful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings in Europe would own them.

It may have been her emails she was actually around in 56

I remember my first real PC in 1986 or 87 I had a Radio Shack color computer 2 before it. It was a Packard Bell 8088, CGA Graphics, and it had a whopping 20mb hard drive. I got it so I wouldn't have to drive all the way to Nicholls just to do my computer lab work. It was outdated when I got it. The 286's were still kind of expensive, and the 386's had just come out, and were OT baller expensive. Good times.

We had a Commodore 64 and I remember when we got the disc drive to go with it. It held the 5 1/4 inch floppy’s and the drive was the size of a shoebox.

That is what Chicken uses to power this website.

I had a 486 that could run 25 mHz with a sweet arse 12mb hard drive (before DOS 6 could let you compress the drive for DoubleSpace). We figured out how to use FTP protocol to get into Playboy’s folder system and printed a sweet arse nuddie pic on a dot matrix printer. That thing worked hard for 10 straight hours so that we could bring pixelated porn to Sunday School the next day.

I also called MTV’s news department after seeing a story on IUMA, and they had to explain what the internet was and how to use HTTP protocol. This was long before AOL offered it.

I’m still late to the game. You old timers.

I bet the stewardesses weren't allowed to touch it.
