It's astonishing how computers have increased in speed, memory, and reduced in size over the years.

Oh RJ, how I know this... years ago I worked at a bank...when they used big magnetic open-reel tapes for storage (no idea what I'm talking about? see this at 0:25)

I bet all of that fits on a USB drive now...
 
Mine was $2500, from Office Max.

Last year, I bought 2 laptops for less than a thousand!

Well, everything in Canada costs more.. lol.

Yah... I bought a 17" laptop in the fall for $470 Canadian. I think it was $430 US. Best I could find in Canada for the same specs was 600.

My dad worked at a bank, was a courier. The computer department there had reel-to-reel AND punch cards. They'd give me the cards that they were to throw out. My friends and I would use them to build tunnels for our Hot Wheels, or use them to make the motorcycle sounds on our bikes.

A 4gb USB flash would have 3bg left LOL

My 17" inch was $440, discounted because the box was dropped. :)
 
Ooh...lively debate. The price of everything techy has gonedown. I worked at radio shack and I remember waiting for memory cards that held less then one gb to go on sale. I bragged the day I brought my computer up to holding one tb and that wasn't very long ago. Now its almost standards to get a 1 tb minimum

Son's gaming desktop, one that he and a friend put together, has 1 tb in ONE of the hard drives!!
 
Evening sexy people. Hey did someone call RJ old? Careful I am older than him.:eek:
I love how you can't even find a telephone booth anymore, I think I better get a cell phone.
 
I am the only one in the lunch room not on a cell phone ...lol
