Old 256MB memory
@Horus and others
I mentioned that yesterday I sorted, or rather didn't sort, a bag of old leads and bits and pieces. I came across this that I think is quite interesting.
It is a 256MB USB drive. It could be 20 years ago that I bought it. I had learned of a small store in Dubai that was right up to date with digital components and as we were about to go to Dubai I took a taxi to this store. At about that time memory storage was limited to 64MB floppy discs if memory serves me right.
I paid about £40 for it and portable memory of 256MB was a big step forward. This is not a flash drive and from what I can see through the plastic case, it is a micro hard drive.
How things have moved on.

So they have Grandad, it does not seem so many years ago when my mate bought a 'single' speed CD player (not DVD) for his PC, it was over £500 and he had to travel from here to Luton to buy it.

Re: Old 256MB memory
In every way, Horus. In every way.
My children got so tired of hearing about how prices had risen when they were kids that my daughter said "I know you used to be able to feed a family of four on tuppence halfpenny a week, but that was then. Now you can't. Get used to it!"

Re: Old 256MB memory
I used to wind my own kids up by saying "When your mum and I were courting we could catch a bus to the cinema, buy two bags of sweets, some popcorn, salted peanuts and have an ice cream each in the interval. Then afterwards we would go and have a chinese meal in a restaurant with a couple of drinks then catch the bus back home again ....... and still have change out of a farthing"

I love it now that my external Hard drive thing I save everything onto is 1 TERRA or TERA Bite. HUGE and I'm sure will get bigger and bigger and bigger over time.
