computers --- was beep sounds

funny how things advance. My first computer was one I built up. It cost 1200 bucks and was a clone XT. we bumped it up to almoat AT speed and it was really special because we built it with two 640 K floppy drives. We could read from one and write to the other. It was very sufficient. This was only in the late 80's. First hard drive was a 10 meg "winchester'. It too turned out to be enough at the time.

I always wanted a 20 meg Seagate but they cost about $420 at the time. That time went by so fast, it went from MB to GB in a year or so. Now you go to WalMart and buy a 80 GB USB for about $80. And I just read that 1000 GB disks are here now that spin at 12000 rpm.

Well back to fighting Vista, I mean Lemon....

Everyone on this forum has been helpful. I wish I could post something that was helpful to anyone.

Have a good day everybody.

Phil
