New harddrive - 1/4 terabyte
-
I remember when I used to look at 250Mb drives as potentially unreliable because they were just so damn huge. And now I have a 250Gb drive. It's so cool checking the "install everything including the kitchen sink" option when installing VS.NET, MSDN and Office. Load me up, baby. Slowly, slowly, getting myself sorted down here. Still not used to the toilets flushing the wrong way though :P cheers, Chris Maunder [edit: OK, OK - I spelled terabyte wrong. Always have, always will ;) ]

I feel your pain dude. I am running a 700 mhz with a 20 GB HDD and 256 MB SDRAM :( I wanted to try out a math package. I had to uninstall MSDN, install the package and give it a spin, uninstall it and then install MSDN again :( Pankaj /** I'm the one who's gonna have to die When it's time for me to die So let me live my life The way I want to - Jimi Hendrix */

Can I order the Internet on DVD? :rolleyes: The download would be out of date as soon as it's complete.

250Gb, what is the world coming to? My first machine had a dual 5 1/4" floppy. I had the OS on one and the compiler and source on another. Yes that's a huge 720kB in total. :-D Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.
I'm coloured, yet clear.
I'm fruity and sweet.

Where are you going to store the backup floppy set?

My first computer was an Acorn Atom[^] I bought the 1K version (yes that 1K, split between video ram and program space)... Upgraded it to a total of 12K!!! It had an external tape unit (i.e. my old tape recorder). Integer basic, 1 MHz CPU (I modded it to 2MHz to make space invaders more challenging). Gary

Atari 400? I think mine had 4k of RAM...

The final step to geekdom is to get a third 250GB drive, and then write your own RAID driver...
How about one of these Hitachi Deskstar 7K400 - 400GB Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s (Serial) ATA Ultra 100 (Parallel)[^] Steve

Es ist nicht die Farbe, (also dass ist ganz normal) aber die....hmmmm... Kunst? Ja, Kunst. Er wird mir tot machen ob Ich ein Foto hier gelasst. Es heisst - nein, Ich kann dass auch nicht sagen weil Ich habe es am Google gefunden. He will be back in commumications on Friday. Then I will force him to post the photo. :rolleyes: .
