I remember when the company I was with had computers with 20 meg hard drives, we had a project which required substantial logging capability so I got one of the very early 100 Meg hard drives.

Nobody could imagine what you could possibly do with a 100 Meg of disk space, people thought it would never run out but then again at that time nobody could afford to buy any more then about 2 meg of memory either.

Just wondering Longy have you upgraded that 233 P1 with 32 meg of ram and a 4.3G disk yet?

I'm also aware of the technology maxim that 'work expands to fill the space available'. it was one thing to spend a few hundred dollars on ulgrading your computer. it is another thing altogether to by a super-computer for every houselhold - which is the equivalent.
