I was putting stuff on my 128 MB SecureDigital Card (about the size of a
postage stamp) that I paid $28 for a local Wal-Mart last year, and thought
about the hard drive that was available for a PS/1 '286 that I used to
have several years ago. It was 10 megs, proprietary RLL interface, and
was about the size of a standard UNIX manual, and cost $600.
