I just thought about something.... This is incredible..

[x86guru@yahoo.com (Adrian)]

Ok, back when I was a youngster, I saved for many months (I had a
paper-route) to buy a used Corvus Systems 20 meg hard disk for my
Apple ][ home-made Pirate BBS system... I paid around $750 for a VERY
used hard disk.  This hard disk was 6.37" high, and was 14.50" wide,
and was some 23"+ inches deep.

For FAR less than $750, you can buy a 100 gigabyte disk with a form
factor of 1" high by around 4" wide...

A 100 gigabyte disk is the equivalent to 5000 (Five Thousand) Corvus
Systems 20 meg hard disks...

So, the Square root of 5000 is Aprox 70.7.. If we stacked 70.7 Corvus
hard disks high, and 70.7 Corvus hard disks wide, we would end up with
a wall of Corvus hard disks that is 37.55 FEET high, by 85.42 FEET
wide.  That same wall of Corvus hard disks is equivalent to a 1 inch,
by 4 inch 100gig drive...

Amazing, eh?

Boy, do I miss the good'ol times with the Apple ][...
