Dec 10, 2007 03:24 pm Wow. That really does make me appreciate flash drives! All that for 5MB? Crazy. I'll take 2 for my keychain though :P

Dec 10, 2007 03:43 pm LOL what a monster! I'd like to see the look on an IBM tech's face in 1956 if he were asked to procure a terabyte of storage.

Dec 10, 2007 03:54 pm Haha, we had a later model one when I went to school, they used it as a weight on the server rack to keep it anchored. Although not that large, it took more than one person to lift.

Dec 14, 2007 12:01 pm Maybe instead of spyware you could fit an ACTUAL spy in there - it's big enough!

one's and zero's would be my guess. And not very many of them I bet.
And to think that these days I'm working with a terabyte of storage and it isn't enough.
Dec 15, 2007 06:51 pm You guys.
I've had one of these for years. Last September I had to have a technician service it.
That reminds me. I need to have the filters replaced, and maybe change the buffer settings.
