My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 2000.
The 2000 wasn’t to signify the future. It was the number of bytes, double the earlier model.
Do not make me whip out my running FORTRAN on punch cards. I will if I have to. Oh, yeah.
How about 60tb?
I remember that too. Today we download podcasts that size, listen to them … and then throw them away.
I find that fact striking, for whatever reason.
I just looked at the price and they did shoot up. I bought a 640GB External hd WD model for about $70 in 2009. I checked into them last year and a 2 TB was about $100. Now those same models go for closer to $130. I’ll wait a year before I buy another one.
40MB hard drive and 7MB of ram, all for $2100.
But in 20 years being limited to terabytes of data storage and processors that perform billions of calculations per second will seem ancient too.
Billions of calculations a second will be like the letter “B” in an alphabet that goes up to “Z”.

Do the math.
I was recently looking for a personal HD and talked to a guy who sells to the pros–sells to our office, actually (documentary production company). He said the Thailand thing is still working itself out and nobody really knows what’s going on–weird in this day and age. Anyway, he said deals are still available and they offer them on their site, in cases of overstock. He steered me to a 1TB Glyph (“what Neil Young’s people use for backup”) on special for about $200. You can get Western Digital for cheaper but they are not very good drives; they were dying on me at the rate of one a year and I wanted better.
I won’t post the link to the business, but you can Google hard drives or media storage in Los Angeles and Burbank, there are a few companies to try.
Google Chrome tells me that the ASCII porn is actually in Galician, and wants to translate it.
I never knew the rural Spanish were so… interesting. Now I understand the real draw of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
Why is there such a concentration of the world’s hard drive manufacturing in Thailand? Forty percent!!! What’s so special about Thailand?
I know, I’ve read Kurzweil. 10^60 cps for $1000 in 2100.
Lets put it this way. The company I work for hires programmers in India because they are paid about 10% of what a U.S. worker does.
Why hire a Western worker for min wage when you can set up in Thialand and pay them air?
The hard disk you’ve been waiting for: http://www.avforums.com/forums/attachments/hard-disk-drives-solid-state-drives/215247d1292098120-old-hard-drive-advert-harddiskwt8.jpg
The hard drives are about twice what they used to be, or at least on the 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA II flavor.
I got one for $55 in September of last year, and the same drive (same exact part #) is now $109.
Actually, the prices are 30-50% higher now, based on normal pricing. What makes it seem much worse is that because of the shortage, there are hardly any sales. Used to be, Newegg or Fry’s would have a few models per week on sale at deep discounts, so you could get a $100 1TB drive for $60 or so, or even lower on Black Friday or something. Now they are pretty much all full price.
So when will this get better? When will the supply get back to normal and the prices drop?
I think it was revenge. She took the / because after he finished £ing she only had a ;
But did she have her .
The author is sorta mind blown anyone could think of filling a 60TB drive. Hell I already have about 3TB of mostly non HD video, game back ups, music, etc.
A decade from now your average middle duty data pack rat will absolutely use up 60TB no prob.
I could use one right now. I must have 60TB in several dozen assorted-size drives offline, in boxes already.
The only problem with putting all your data in one basket is if the cat knocks it on the floor, you may lose it all at once.
Yeah, I’d kill for a 60TB drive. All your porn ^H^H^H^H spreadsheets conveniently in one place.
