Yeah, I remember those days, that was when my dad had his 2GB mac laptop. (2GB? Can you imagine having a 2GB hard drive?)

The days of 2GB. Now it's 2TB and 5GHz. That's crazy:

Remember too a few years ago...the iPod mini was only a 4GB. The first hard drives were big massive things - if you've ever seen a DVD size case that's how big they were in the early systems with Win95 and DOS. But the MacOS (Original) was only about 30MB. Now it's 7GB minimum, but it's got a lot of extra bits and pieces to make Unix and Linux more user-friendly, of which it is based upon.

And this is what Vista progressed from, if anyone is interested. I liked the third one as what I used when I was part of the Vista beta-testing program.

I see the Chat topic has morphed into the Tech topic!!

I remember my first computer had a 48k processor (Spectrum). My last PC before the Mac mini had a 850Mb processor and a 20Gb hard drive. It was massive when I got it (2000).

Nice Vista screens. I will never use it. Very happy with my Mac OS (still on Tiger, no need for me that I can see to go to Leopard)

How's everyone today?
