Just remember kids – this was cool back in the day! You know, when we had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways, and keyboards still clicked in a manly fashion!]

    storage is nice :)

    I do think you made a typo with that 20gig disk for your 8086…

    The other day I was trying to explain the insanity that was MFM HDDs to a slightly younger buddy of mine (I’m only 30, he’s 25 I think). Giant monster drives, costing tons of cash, for 10MB of storage. 10MB!!! There are dinnerware sets with more storage capacity these days!!

    I guess you mean 20MB and not 20GB for that 8086.

    Arrgh – yes, you’re right. That’s 20 MB for the 8086 – good catch. Thanks!
