Thought for the day...
Look at this picture from http://www.hackedgadgets.com
It's a 1 Gbyte hard drive from about 20 years ago. The hand on the right of the picture is holding a modern 1 GByte SD memory card...
It's both wonderful and scary how technology is moving on, isn't it!

The one on the right is normal SD card yes? I have a 1GB micro SD card which is about a third of the size of the one on the right  I'd never
seen one before i got my new phone last week!! Just imagine the size of them in a few years time

The first commercial computer I worked on (IBM 1401) was in 6 rack-sized cabinets - 4 tape drives and a CPU - memory was 4K.
The bigger brother (7070) had 6 tape drives and a console and boasted 16K memory.
And there were 3 resident IBM engineers (in suits and ties) to keep it all running 
This did all the billing and salaries for Esso Petroleum (UK)
