#me 23 years ago: waow... 1TB... that's SO MUCH space!

[mercurialmalcontent]

I just dusted out my computer, but before I started I spent a few moments marvelling at my SSD. It's the size of... I don't know, a few sticks of gum? And it's one terabyte. My last computer had a 1TB HDD and it's many, many times the physical size of this SSD.

And that HDD is far smaller than the HDD in my first computer 23 years ago, which was a time when 1TB of space took up multiple HDDs set in a rack and cost thirteen thousand dollars -- which is $23,000 today.
