While this may seem mind blowing, my company paid $4,000 for a Genie 5+5 10MB hard drive in the early '80s. At that price per byte, my 1TB hard drive would cost 400 million dollars. It cost me about $100 now. Also, the 1TB drive is about one-fourth the size of the 10MB drive.

What's crazy is how thick that thing is. And can I see four individual platters, each abut half (or maybe more) a centimeter thick?

I can neither confirm nor deny.

What I do have is the most awesome mugshot ever:

Officer Reprimanded For Taking “Sexy” Mugshot of Inmate

A Colorado deputy is being punished for taking a “sexy” mugshot of an inmate showing him posing with his hands on his chin, sneering slyly into the camera.

The unnamed deputy has been verbally reprimanded for taking the photo and putting it into the jail's system but Division Chief Larry Hank of the Boulder County jail, is jumping to his defense.

Chief Hank says that the officer had full intentions of deleting the picture but forgot. He tells the Daily Camera,

“The officer was busy that night. He saw the photo and didn't intend to leave it in the system. But he basically got busy and forgot.”

The inmate in the picture is 22-year-old Dustin Winesberry.

He was arrested Sunday for trespassing after he jumped onto a woman's balcony and told her he wanted to “hang out.”

Adding insult to injury, the sexy picture taker admitted to police that he is a registered sex offender.

The Daily Camera reports however that there is no such record of sex crimes for Winesberry.

Winesberry was made to take another mugshot to replace the earlier gaffe.

with the right coaching, you can overcome this problem. I suggest starting each day by punching at least three babies, followed by a healthy regimen of abusing stray animals. Then, send anonymous death threats to the homes of whoever happens to look cheery as you walk down the street. This should raise your callousness in no time, and thus enable you to practice financial responsibility.

I saw a presentation by one of the early NASA engineers once, and he had brought one of the actual RAM chips from the Apollo Lunar Module's onboard computer with him. It was twice the size of a pack of cigarettes, and held 128 kilobytes.
