Reminds me of this quote...There are only 10 people in this world...Those that understand binary and those who don’t.
My first computer didn’t have a hard drive. It had 256k of main RAM and a 360k 5 1/4” floppy drive.
The “10 Meg of hard drive space, I’ll never fill that up!” computer was the 2nd one.
I’ve been part of an IRC group that has been around over 14 years… we sometimes get into that “back in the day” mode, like the Monty Python sketch.... where each guy tries to top the previous yarn. My second computer didn’t have a hard drive either, it had a casette tape deal… that I later updated to an 88K floppy drive for $500… and was glad to get it. It was an Atari 800, BTW, which I still have. The Atari itself was an upgrade from my first computer, a home built kludge made from plans in Kilobaud and Byte magazine. It didn’t have any storage or even an OS. You had to fingerbone code into the front panel in binary. Those were the days. And if you try to tell that to the kids today, they won’t believe you.
BTW, LyndonB, I spotted that quote on the wall of a Navy computer lab in an episode of NCIS.
